Strap for De Ville Quartz 27.5 Stainless Steel / Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 434.10.28.60.03.002 is 13 mm. It is measured internally between the two pins that protrude from the case. All straps in the 13 mm collection have been verified to ensure perfect compatibility without lateral slippage.

For this dress watch model, we recommend alligator in natural tobacco brown tone, which maintains historical formal elegance. As a modern alternative, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers material authenticity and a patina that evolves over time. For daily use in humid environments, medical-grade FKM rubber preserves the subtle proportions of the case.

Insert a spring bar tool into the slot located between the case and the current strap, applying gentle upward pressure. The spring pin will retract, allowing you to remove the old strap. To mount the new one, align the openings with the pins and press gently until the spring clicks into place. Verify that the strap does not slip laterally.

Yes, provided it respects the 13 mm lug width and is constructed to comparable quality standards. We recommend straps in alligator, calf leather, or shell cordovan from certified manufacturers. Avoid full-width NATO fabric straps, which alter the subtle proportions of this compact model.

A quality alligator strap lasts 4-6 years with moderate daily use. Vegetable-tanned calf leather resists 3-5 years with regular contact to perspiration and humidity. Shell cordovan, being more compact, can last 5-7 years if kept dry. Durability varies based on ambient humidity, cleaning frequency, and intensity of use.
