Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 32.7 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Vintage Silver Silk / Bracelet

The lug width is 16 millimetres. You can verify it by measuring with a calliper the distance between the centres of the two horizontal pins that hold the strap. This dimension requires specific straps, which are less common compared to standard 18 or 20 millimetre sizes.

Genuine alligator is the most coherent choice for this bicolour dress case: the marked grain and the patina that develops over the years reflect the timeless elegance of the De Ville. Vegetable-tanned calfskin and shell cordovan are excellent alternatives for those seeking less formality while maintaining perceivable quality.

The strap is secured with two pins (bayonet lugs or spring bars, depending on the model). To change them, use a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) to compress or extract the pins. Position the watch on a soft cloth, work gently to avoid scratching the case, and proceed with patience. If you have any doubts, contact a professional watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for assistance.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calfskin, shell cordovan) lasts an average of 3–5 years with moderate daily use. It depends on environmental humidity, frequency of wear and maintenance: avoid prolonged water exposure, apply a light leather conditioner occasionally, store in a dry environment. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on its bespoke straps and can assess repairs and regenerations.
