Strap for De Ville Prestige Dewdrop Quartz 27.4 Yellow Gold / Diamond

The lug width of the De Ville 424.57.27.60.55.001 is 18mm. This value represents the physical space between the lugs of the case where the strap is inserted. It is important to verify this measurement with a caliper before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure perfect compatibility.

The best strap depends on usage and personal preference. For formal contexts, black alligator or cognac brown leather represents aesthetic and functional excellence. Vegetable-tanned calf offers a more contemporary alternative with good durability. For everyday versatility, shell cordovan combines strength and evolving patina. A deployant clasp is recommended for ease of use.

The strap is changed by removing the spring bars that connect the strap to the case lugs. Using a spring bar tool, push the pin laterally to release the spring ring, remove the strap and insert the new one. It is advisable to work on a flat, well-lit surface. If you are not confident, you can seek assistance from a specialized atelier.
