Strap for De Ville Quartz 30 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / White / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 434.20.30.60.02.002 is 14mm. This measurement represents the distance between the inner pins of the upper attachment. To verify it correctly, use a digital caliper and measure the space between the inner edge of the two pins: it must correspond exactly to 14mm. Do not confuse it with the total case width.

For this elegant dress watch, vegetable-tanned alligator represents the most aristocratic solution thanks to its structured grain and the patina that develops naturally. Dress calf offers compact texture, superior longevity and dimensional stability. Silk or combed linen NATO is ideal for informal contexts while maintaining formal dignity. Rubber is not recommended, as it undermines the analog DNA of the watch.

The De Ville 434.20.30.60.02.002 uses a through-pin attachment. To change the strap, gently remove the upper pin using a dedicated pin remover or specialized tool, then remove the old strap. Position the new strap with 14mm lug width, reinsert the pin and ensure it is perfectly secured. If you are not comfortable with this operation, consult a professional watchmaker.

Yes, all straps with 14mm lug width are compatible with the De Ville 434.20.30.60.02.002. Milano Straps offers a selection of <a href="https://milanostraps.it/collections/cinturini-orologi-per-misura-ansa-14mm">14mm artisanal straps</a> in various materials (alligator, calf, NATO, rubber) and customizable in sizes, initials and stitching thread. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke straps to measure with personal choice of leathers.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, usage and maintenance. A quality watchmaking dress calf typically lasts 3-5 years with regular daily use. Vegetable-tanned alligator can exceed 5 years thanks to the natural fibrous structure and the patina that develops. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on Casati Milano bespoke straps. Longevity increases significantly if the strap is rotated with others and protected from excessive humidity.
