Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz Ladies 24.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the 424.20.24.60.58.001 model is 16mm. This measurement, determined by the distance between the two case lugs, represents the exact space where the strap must fit. To verify it correctly, position a digital caliper perpendicular to the metal spring bars, measuring from the inner edge of one to the inner edge of the other, excluding the thickness of the bars themselves.

The choice depends on usage and aesthetic preferences. For formal occasions, cognac-colored alligator enhances the golden components of the case. For daily versatility, dark brown calf leather is ideal. If you desire a patina that develops over time, bourbon-colored shell cordovan represents the premium option. All must feature a 16mm lug width for complete compatibility.

To change the strap, position the watch with the case facing upward. Use a springbar tool or a small flathead screwdriver to gently push the metal spring bar pin inward, opening the slot. Extract the pin from the old strap, insert the new strap onto the same spring bar and repeat on the opposite side. Ensure the pin is fully inserted and secure.

Yes, any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible with the Omega De Ville 424.20.24.60.58.001.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the tanning method and daily use. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap lasts on average 3-5 years with regular maintenance (cleaning with a damp cloth, annual conditioning). Shell cordovan, thanks to the structural density of horse leather, can last 7-10 years. Butyl rubber offers greater durability (10+ years) but without patina development. Casati Milano provides an 18-month warranty on all handcrafted straps.
