Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 24.4 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Diamond / Champagne / Bracelet

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 424.25.24.60.58.001 is 16mm. This measurement is the internal space between the case lugs and represents the exact width your strap must have. Always verify with a digital caliper before purchasing to ensure perfect compatibility.

For this two-tone case in yellow gold and stainless steel, we recommend alligator with vegetable tanning in cognac or mahogany brown tones, or shell cordovan in bourbon color. The regular texture of alligator and the natural finish of cordovan enhance the yellow gold without competing with the dial geometry. Avoid bright colors that would compromise the understated elegance of the model.

The strap is removed using a spring bar remover tool. Insert the forked tip of the tool under the metal bar connecting the strap to the case at one end. Press gently upward until the bar springs out. Repeat on the other side. Install the new strap by reversing the procedure, ensuring the bars snap firmly into the case holes.

Yes, provided they have a 16mm lug width and are made from equivalent quality materials (alligator, cordovan, calf). Artisanal aftermarket straps often surpass original Omega straps in terms of patina, texture, and longevity. Ensure the strap has sufficient total length for your wrist (typically 210-215mm for standard length).

A quality alligator or calf strap typically lasts 3-5 years with daily use. Shell cordovan, thanks to greater fiber density, can reach 6-8 years. Longevity depends on sun exposure, humidity, frequency of use, and care (avoid standing water, dry promptly, do not bend excessively). The patina that forms is a sign of natural aging, not degradation.
