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

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.33.20.58.002 is 16mm. This is the distance between the two spring bars of the case and represents the useful width that your strap must have at the ends. Verifying the measurement is simple: measure the distance between the case attachments with a digital caliper. A 16mm strap fits perfectly without forcing and guarantees the visual proportions that Omega calculated during the design phase.

Given the formal vocation and elegant proportions of this model, we recommend a quality alligator strap. The regular texture of the leather and its natural adaptation to the wrist make it ideal. As alternatives, vegetable-tanned calf develops an authentic patina, while shell cordovan introduces a density that enhances formality. For daily versatility, calf with a deployant clasp ensures ease of closure without aesthetic compromise.

Changing the strap requires extraction of the spring bars from the case. Use a specialized tool (even a small flathead screwdriver, with care) to gently push one spring bar toward the center of the case, freeing the end from the lug. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap by sliding the two spring bars into their seats and verifying that they are fully locked. If you prefer to avoid the risk of scratching the case, Casati Milano can perform the change by appointment.

Yes, absolutely. The important thing is that the strap is compatible with the 16mm lug width. On milanostraps.it you will find a selection of artisanal straps specifically made for this width. Verifying compatibility is simple: the strap must insert into the spring bars of the case without forcing. We advise against cheap synthetic leather straps—for a watch of this quality, it deserves an artisanal construction in genuine leather.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the quality of the material, frequency of use, and care. An artisanal strap in quality alligator or calf typically lasts 4-6 years with daily wear. Natural leather tends to lose elasticity over time and with wear of the buckle or keeper. Casati Milano straps benefit from an 18-month warranty and are constructed with finishes that extend useful life. Remember to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and allow the leather to breathe when you are not wearing the watch.
