Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.8 Red Gold / MOP Butterfly / Diamond

The lug width of the 424.57.37.20.55.003 model is 19mm. This width is determined by the elegant proportions of the 36.80mm case and maintains visual balance with the diameter. To verify the correct measurement, position a digital caliper on the centerline between one lug shoulder and the other, completely excluding the integrated bracelet.

For the 424.57.37.20.55.003 model in rose gold with a 36.80mm case, we recommend alligator or crocodile for classic formality, vegetable-tanned calf for sophisticated daily wear, or shell cordovan for those desiring more robust texture and luminous patina. All these materials develop a noble patina over time, enhancing the warmth of the rose gold.

Changing the strap requires the use of a spring bar tool to release the metal pins that secure the strap to the case lugs. Position the tool in the lateral spaces between the case and bracelet, apply gentle pressure to retract the internal spring, then remove the supplied bracelet. Consult a professional watchmaker if you prefer to avoid manual operations on your rose gold De Ville.

Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width is mechanically compatible. High-quality artisanal straps from milanostraps.it, made with alligator, calf, or cordovan, fit perfectly on the lugs of the 424.57.37.20.55.003 model. Always verify that the strap is proportioned to the 36.80mm case, avoiding excessive thickness.

The lifespan of a leather strap for the De Ville depends on the material and usage. Quality alligator lasts 5-8 years with moderate daily use; vegetable-tanned calf 3-5 years; shell cordovan 7-10 years thanks to its natural density. Exposure to intense sunlight, humidity, and extreme temperatures accelerates aging. Straps from milanostraps.it include an 18-month warranty and can be restored by the Casati Milano atelier.
