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

The lug width of the Prestige 36.80 mm model is 19 mm. This dimension is fixed and non-adjustable, as the lugs are soldered directly onto the red gold case. It is essential to measure the distance between the spring bars accurately with a caliper before purchasing a strap.

Grey-tortoiseshell alligator and dark brown calf represent the most elegant choices for red gold. Alligator emphasizes absolute formality and enhances the case finishing, while calf offers everyday versatility and a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate structured and durable leathers.

The De Ville Prestige features permanently soldered lugs, not removable quick-release bars. Strap replacement requires a specific tool (spring bar remover) or is best entrusted to a qualified watchmaker to avoid damage to the polished case finishing. Casati Milano atelier offers strap replacement service with warranty.

Yes, 19mm aftermarket straps are fully compatible with the 424.55.37.20.52.001, provided they respect the exact lug width and feature adequately finished spring bars. Handcrafted straps made by Casati Milano guarantee compatibility, build quality, and customization.

A properly tanned alligator strap lasts 5-7 years with moderate daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf lasts 3-5 years, shell cordovan 7-10 years thanks to the material's intrinsic density. Lifespan depends on humidity, perspiration, frequency of wear, and maintenance. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all handcrafted straps.
