Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.8 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is exactly 19.00mm. This measurement is not the most common standard on the market (the majority of straps follow 18mm or 20mm), so it is essential to verify compatibility before purchasing. Measure the space between the inner edges of the lugs to confirm.

For a two-tone case, we recommend medium brown or black alligator with a deployant clasp: the regular grain of crocodile naturally dialogues with the reflections of red gold. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf amplifies the vintage character of the mixed composition, with a patina that ages in harmony with the oxidation of the precious metals.

Use a spring bar tool or a professional strap removal tool to gently press the spring bars into their seats. Position yourself in natural light, support the watch on a soft surface (wool cloth) and push the spring bar towards the opposite side until it clicks. The new 19mm strap will slide easily into the freed seat.

Yes, absolutely. Artisanal 19mm straps are completely compatible with this model. Simply ensure that the strap is cut precisely for this lug width: even a 0.5mm difference would create excessive play. Milano Straps and Casati Milano offer custom proposals with quality control.

A premium alligator or calf strap lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, provided basic maintenance: monthly cleaning with a damp cloth and no prolonged exposure to extreme humidity. Fine leathers such as shell cordovan can reach 7+ years, aging with increasingly fascinating patina. Longevity depends on the tanning: vegetable-tanned ages gradually, while synthetic remains stable.
