Strap for De Ville Hour Vision Master Chronometer Annual Calendar Stainless Steel / Brown

The De Ville Prestige 433.13.41.22.10.001 has a lug width of 20 millimeters. This dimension is specific to this model and must match exactly with the chosen strap to ensure it is neither too loose nor too tight. Always verify the width by measuring the space between the lugs on the case.

For the De Ville 433.13.41.22.10.001 we recommend alligator in dark shades (cognac, brown) for a formal look, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for those who prefer a natural patina that develops over time. Shell cordovan is ideal for pronounced texture, while rubber or NATO are appropriate for casual summer wear.

Use a spring bar tool to compress the elastic pins hidden inside the case lugs. Insert the blade into the slot beneath the lug, compress the pin, and remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the tube to the seats, and release the pin until it clicks into place. If you are unsure, consult a specialized watchmaker.

Yes, you can use a quality aftermarket strap, provided it is certified for 20mm lug width. We recommend straps made by specialized artisans that guarantee compatibility, durability, and finishes that respect the elegance of the De Ville. Milano Straps are specifically designed for this reference.

A quality artisanal leather strap, if subjected to regular use (5-6 days per week), lasts on average 3-5 years before requiring replacement. Durability depends on humidity, frequency of use, tanning quality, and maintenance. A shell cordovan strap, being more robust, can last up to 7 years. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and clean periodically with a soft cloth.
