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

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.33.20.55.002 is 16mm. This is a non-standard measurement, so it is essential to verify before purchase that the strap is specifically sized to 16mm. Measure the internal spaces between the case lugs with a digital caliper to confirm compatibility.

For the De Ville 424.20.33.20.55.002, alligator remains the ideal choice: its fine texture complements the sobriety of the two-tone case and the mother-of-pearl dial. Calf leather represents an elegant and versatile alternative, while vegetable-tanned leather offers chromatic evolution over time. Avoid textures that are too pronounced and would compete with the model's understated design.

To change the strap, gently remove the spring bars using a dedicated tool or small screwdriver. Insert the blade into the small lateral hole of the spring bar, compress slightly and extract the bar from the case. Connect the new strap by aligning the holes with the empty bars and reinsert the bars until they click into place. Ensure the strap is in the correct position before wearing the watch.
