Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Vintage Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 424.20.40.20.02.005 is 20mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two case lugs where the strap is inserted. It is essential to order straps compatible with this specific lug width to avoid visible gaps between the lugs and the strap itself.

For this two-tone case in yellow gold and steel, natural alligator in grey or tobacco brown tones represents the supreme choice for formal elegance. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown is more versatile for everyday wear, while black FKM rubber keeps the design prominent without chromatic distractions.

To verify the lug width of your De Ville, observe where the strap connects to the case through the removable pins. Measure the horizontal distance between the two lugs: it must be 20mm. You can also consult the watch reference (424.20.40.20.02.005): the second numeric block '20' encodes precisely this measurement.

Yes, the De Ville is fully compatible with artisanal quality aftermarket straps. It is however essential to order straps specifically for 20mm lug width, not to be confused with 22mm versions of the same family. Online you will find artisanal straps ready for shipment and customizable in sizes, finishes and colours.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) worn daily on an Omega De Ville has an average lifespan of 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Durability depends on frequency of use, maintenance care (moisture protection, periodic cleaning) and leather type. Vegetable tanning develops a natural patina that enhances aesthetics over time.
