Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.8 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Vintage Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 424.20.37.20.58.002 is 19 mm. This measurement corresponds to the internal distance between the case lugs and determines compatibility with straps. You can measure this width yourself by positioning a ruler or caliper directly between the lug shoulders, perpendicular to the movement.

For the De Ville 424.20.37.20.58.002, we recommend a dark brown alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather strap. Alligator offers the highest level of elegance and a regular grain that enhances the dress style of the watch, while natural calf guarantees a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan is ideal if you seek robustness without aesthetic compromises. The choice depends on your personal style and frequency of use.

Strap replacement is accomplished using spring bars, two small metal pins that connect the strap to the case lugs. You can remove the spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or visit a jewelry store. Once extracted, the old strap detaches easily. Insert the new pins into the lug holes, position the new strap, and press gently until they lock in place. If you are unsure, consult the Casati Milano atelier for professional service.

Yes, aftermarket straps compatible with 19 mm lug width are perfectly usable on this model. Milanostraps.it offers a wide selection of 19 mm straps made with quality materials (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber) that maintain stylistic coherence with the De Ville. Ensure the strap is produced to tailoring standards and that the spring bars are stainless steel to prevent corrosion.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on several factors: leather quality, frequency of use, humidity, and care. High-quality alligator or vegetable-tanned calf typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily use, up to 7-8 years with occasional use. Shell cordovan, thanks to its extraordinary durability, can exceed 10 years. All Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty and can be regenerated (reworked) at the end of their useful life.
