Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Omega De Ville 434.20.34.20.02.002?
The lug width is exactly 16mm, a rare and non-standard size that excludes generic straps. It is measured by positioning a digital caliper between the attachment pins on the case.
What is the best strap for the Omega De Ville 434.20.34.20.02.002?
Dark-toned alligator (black, dark brown, burgundy) is the natural choice thanks to its tight grain and evolving patina. Alternative: vegetable-tanned calf for a more granular texture and visible patina development over time.
How do you change the strap on this De Ville?
Use a spring bar tool to remove the pins from the attachment lugs. Position the new strap (16mm) under the pins, then reinsert them into the case until they click into place. The procedure requires precision to avoid scratching the case.
Is there an aftermarket strap compatible with the 434.20.34.20.02.002?
Yes, 16mm straps are available online ready to ship, customizable in size, initials, and stitching color. The atelier Casati Milano also creates bespoke tailored straps with personal choice of leather.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the De Ville?
A quality alligator or calf strap lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, depending on climate, skin pH, and maintenance. Excellent quality <a href="/pages/termine-glossario/shell-cordovan">shell cordovan</a> can exceed 10 years, developing an increasingly deeper patina.
