Strap for De Ville Symbol 23.5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Champagne / Bracelet

The Omega De Ville 4260.13.00 has a lug width of 16mm. This dimension is measured internally between the two horizontal attachments of the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. On milanostraps.it you will find the entire collection of straps specifically sized for this width.

Given the elegant and formal character of the De Ville, the most appropriate materials are structured alligator, soft vegetable-tanned calf, and aged shell cordovan. Alligator emphasizes black-tie occasions, while vegetable-tanned calf offers a patina that evolves daily. NATO straps are not recommended for this model: the compact 16mm lug width deserves straps that enhance the refined construction.

Strap replacement requires a dedicated removal tool and a stable surface. Position the watch case upward, identify the spring bar and gently depress it with the appropriate tool to release the old strap. Insert the new 16mm strap ensuring the spring bar clicks perfectly into both anchor holes. If you prefer, Casati Milano offers the replacement service during the bespoke consultation.

Absolutely yes. The international community of vintage watch enthusiasts greatly appreciates pairing artisanal straps with this model. On milanostraps.it you will find compatible 16mm straps tested on identical models, customizable in length, initials and thread. We recommend natural leathers to preserve the formal atmosphere of the De Ville.

A fine leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) resists an average of 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on environmental humidity and frequency of use. Vegetable-tanned calf tends to age elegantly, developing a characteristic patina. Milanese straps benefit from an 18-month warranty and can be regenerated through Casati Milano's bespoke service, which replaces only the worn portion.
