Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 32.7 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 424.20.33.20.05.002 is precisely 16mm. This measurement is taken from the inner edge of the left lug to the inner edge of the right lug, excluding the lugs themselves. This is a non-standard measurement that requires straps specifically constructed for this width.

For the De Ville 424.20.33.20.05.002, we recommend American alligator or shell cordovan. Alligator maintains a regular texture that reflects light like the mother-of-pearl dial, ideal for formalwear. Cordovan develops an extraordinary natural patina over time and offers superior durability. Vegetable-tanned calf is the most versatile choice for daily wear.

The De Ville 424.20.33.20.05.002 uses a standard straight lug system (spring bar). Obtain a spring bar tool, gently press the internal spring of the lug to disengage it from the case, remove the old strap and insert the new one by passing the spring tube through the case lugs. The procedure takes approximately 5 minutes without specialized tools, although the Casati Milano atelier offers this service free of charge for strap purchases.

No, the 16mm lug width is specific to the De Ville 424.20.33.20.05.002 and very few other models in the Prestige line. It is not compatible with previous-generation De Ville models (15mm lug width) or sports De Ville models (20-22mm lug width). Precision is essential: tolerances of ±0.2mm are acceptable, but beyond this margin the fit will be compromised.

Durability depends on the material and usage. A quality artisan alligator strap, with regular daily use, lasts 3-5 years before the leather in the wrist-curve area shows visible wear signs. Shell cordovan, thanks to its density, easily reaches 7-10 years. Vegetable-tanned calf offers 4-6 years of use before significant degradation. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on all straps, covering construction defects.
