Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 32.7 Stainless Steel / Red Gold / Diamond / MOP / Bracelet

The Omega De Ville 424.25.33.20.55.002 has a <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a> of 16 millimetres. This dimension, measured point-to-point between the centres of the lugs, is a non-standard specification that makes it essential to select straps constructed to this parameter. Straps built for other widths (18mm, 20mm, 14mm) will not fit correctly and risk compromising both the case and overall aesthetics.

<a href="/pages/termine-glossario/alligatore">Alligator</a> with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a> represents the most coherent choice with the Dewdrop design. The tight grain texture of alligator amplifies the sophistication of the mother-of-pearl dial and the natural ageing of the leather creates a patina that evolves over time, parallel to the watch. Blue calf leather in vegetable tanning is also optimal, offering chromatic versatility and a more contemporary appearance.

The strap is removed by detaching the lugs from their seats on the case, an operation that requires a specialised tool called a spring bar tool or a very fine screwdriver. Milano Straps recommends having the operation performed at an authorised Omega service centre or by an experienced strap maker to avoid damage to the delicate lugs of the women's case. The process takes just a few minutes but requires precision and care.

Yes, Milano Straps produces artisanal 16mm straps compatible with the De Ville 424.25.33.20.55.002 that maintain or exceed Omega finishing standards. Custom straps allow you to choose leather, thickness, colour and <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/deployante">deployment clasp</a>, adapting the timepiece to your personal style. A quality aftermarket strap does not compromise the value of the watch but rather enhances it by allowing seasonal changes and protects the factory strap from wear.

A natural leather strap with <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">vegetable tanning</a> on a daily-worn watch typically lasts 3-5 years, depending on humidity, frequency of use and care. Vegetable-tanned leather ages nobly, developing patina, but inevitably wears at the wrist and near the <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/misura-ansa">lug width</a>. Milano Straps provides an 18-month warranty on its artisanal straps and allows for subsequent repairs and renewals.
