Strap for De Ville Hour Vision Master Chronometer Sedna Gold / Brown

The lug width of the De Ville 433.53.41.21.13.001 is 20 millimetres. This measurement is determined by the distance between the lugs welded to the case and represents the precise constructive specification for this reference. We recommend verifying the measurement with a digital calliper positioned perpendicularly, excluding decorations or protrusions, before ordering a strap.

For this timepiece in Sedna gold, we recommend cognac or dark burgundy alligator, which amplify the warmth of the case without competing visually. Cordovan shell represents an excellent alternative for those seeking longevity and a polished finish that evolves over time. We advise against sporty materials (NATO, rubber) that would contradict the formal vocabulary of the watch. The ideal buckle is in rose gold or steel with a deployant mechanism.

The replacement requires the use of a specific tool (spring bar tool) to remove the attachment pins. Position the watch on a soft cloth, locate the internal spring of the pin, apply gentle outward pressure and slide off the old strap. Insert the new strap ensuring the pin is fully in position, avoiding excessive stress that could scratch the lugs. If you are unsure, entrust the task to a watchmaker or the personalisation service of Milano Straps.

Durability depends on the material and usage. Quality alligator offers an average lifespan of 5-8 years with regular maintenance. Cordovan shell, being denser, can exceed 10-15 years. Vegetable-tanned calf has a longevity of 3-5 years. Factors such as humidity, sun exposure and frequency of wear influence ageing. Proper storage and occasional cleaning with a damp soft cloth significantly extend the life of the strap.
