Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 42 Chronograph Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 431.10.42.51.02.001 is 20mm. This is the distance between the two attachment holes on the case where the strap is inserted. It is essential to measure this distance correctly to select a compatible strap that does not require modifications to the case.

For a formal-sports chronograph like the De Ville 431.10.42.51.02.001, we recommend black alligator or dark brown for maximum elegance, or vegetable-tanned calfskin in earth tones for a more versatile approach. Shell cordovan is ideal for those who appreciate patina and durability over time. Milano Straps offers personalized 20mm straps in various materials.

Strap replacement requires removal of the two spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Use a springbar tool to compress the lateral spring bar, remove the old strap, insert the new one until you hear the locking click. If you are not experienced, Casati Milano at the atelier provides professional support by appointment.
