Strap for De Ville Hour Vision Co-Axial Annual Calendar Stainless Steel / Blue / Orbis

The Omega De Ville 431.33.41.22.03.001 has a lug width of exactly 20 millimetres. This width is specific to this model and is not interchangeable with the more common 18 or 22 millimetres. Always verify that the strap attachment pins are spaced exactly 20mm before making a purchase.

The black alligator strap remains the most coherent choice with the De Ville's aesthetic: the natural texture of the leather dialogues perfectly with the grain finish of the dial. If you seek everyday versatility, the envelluto calf in dark tones is robust and understated. For formal occasions, the matte glossy alligator is timeless.

Omega De Ville watches have integrated lugs that require a spring bar remover for strap changes. Position the tool on the small spring that supports the pin and push it downward: the pin will release from its seat. Repeat on the other side, then insert the new strap pins into the lugs. If you are not confident, consult a professional watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for assistance.

Yes, provided the lug width is exactly 20mm. Many artisanal quality straps are available in this specific width. Verify that the strap has sufficient structural rigidity to support the weight of the steel case (approximately 147 grams) without excessive bending. A high-quality alligator or calf strap ensures precise fitment and long-lasting durability.

A natural leather strap of quality (alligator, calf, vegetable-tanned) lasts on average 3-5 years with daily use, provided regular maintenance. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat. Alligator tends to last longer thanks to the structure of its derma. If the strap begins to show cracking at the passant, it is time to replace it to prevent damage to the case. Straps crafted by the Casati Milano atelier enjoy an 18-month warranty.
