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

The lug width is 20mm. This is the internal distance between the two attachment points of the case. All straps for this model must have this measurement, which represents a specific standard of the De Ville Prestige family.

Natural alligator from French or Italian vegetable-tanned tanneries is the most coherent choice with the model's formal identity. Black, dark brown, or navy blue alligator maintains elegance. French grained calf offers practicality while maintaining formality, while 2-in-1 fabric NATO adds versatility for less formal contexts.

The De Ville 431.33.41.22.06.001 uses integrated screw lugs. To change the strap, you need specific screwdriver tools for screw lugs (spring bar tools). Remove the screw from inside the lug, extract the lug, and replace the strap. If you are not experienced, consult a certified watchmaker to avoid damage to the case.

Any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible. However, we recommend straps from high-level tanneries (Hermès, Solbiati, Corderie Lombarde) to maintain construction quality consistent with the 8601 movement. Avoid generic straps from wholesalers, as they prematurely wear the integrated lugs.

An alligator strap from a vegetable-tanned tannery lasts 2-4 years with regular wear and proper maintenance (protection from moisture and sweat, hydration with specific creams). Grained calf tends to last 3-5 years. Durability depends on use: daily wear accelerates wear compared to occasional formal wear.
