Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Master Chronometer Pointer Date 42 5 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Green Sunburst

The lug width is 19mm. This measurement represents the internal space between the two pins that connect the strap to the case. You can verify it by measuring with a digital caliper perpendicular to the pins themselves.

Alligator in cognac or dark brown tones is the natural choice: the regular texture of the scales harmonizes with the proportions of the two-tone case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather also offers elegance and a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan is ideal for those seeking superior durability and natural polishability.

Use a dedicated tool to extract the pins that secure the strap to the case. Place the watch on a soft cloth, locate the small holes on the inner edge of the case beneath the lugs, and gently push the pins outward. Once the old strap is free, align the new strap and reinsert the pins until you hear or feel a click. Avoid damage by using proper tools and not makeshift instruments.

A quality leather strap, with vegetable tanning or shell cordovan, lasts an average of 5–8 years with daily use. Durability depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture, sweat and UV rays, and maintenance (periodic conditioning with specific creams). MilanoStraps straps include an 18-month warranty. Aging is not wear: it is patina, the visible story of time spent on the wrist.
