Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Moonshine Sunburst

The lug width is 20 mm. This measurement is specific to the 424.23.40.20.58.002 and is necessary to select compatible straps. A tolerance of ±0.5 mm is acceptable, but 20 mm remains the absolute reference for this model.

For the 424.23.40.20.58.002, a cognac alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown tones offer the best aesthetic balance. Alligator emphasizes the delicacy of the case, while vegetable-tanned calf leather evolves chromatically over time, creating a unique patina.

Remove the spring bars present in the lug holes using a dedicated spring bar tool. Insert the bar into the hole, compress it slightly to release it from the seat, then extract the used strap. Insert the new strap by snapping the spring bars at both ends until you feel the locking click.

Yes, the 424.23.40.20.58.002 is compatible with any 20 mm lug width strap, provided it has standard spring bars. Verify that the spring bars have the correct length (approximately 16-17 mm for this model) to avoid irregular gaps at the sides of the lug.

A quality alligator or calf leather strap lasts on average 4-6 years with daily use, up to 8-10 years if alternated with other straps. <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/concia-vegetale">Vegetable tanning</a> is more durable than chrome tanning because it develops a protective patina. Wear occurs mainly in the contact area of the buckle and loops.
