Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 22 Stainless Steel / MOP / Bracelet

The lug width of the De Ville 4570.71.00 is 20mm. This specification represents the distance between the two internal case lugs. Measuring correctly with a digital caliper is essential before ordering aftermarket straps, as this model is not compatible with standard 22mm straps.

Medium brown alligator is the choice most coherent with the minimalist aesthetic of the De Ville 4570.71.00. The fine and regular grain of the leather dialogues perfectly with the compact proportions of the 22mm case. For formal occasions, polished black alligator with steel deployant represents the most versatile option.

Use a spring bar tool to compress the internal elastic pins of the lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface to avoid scratches. Insert the tool into the slot of the spring bar, compress gently and release the lug from the case. Proceed symmetrically on the other side. Repeat the reverse operation to mount the new strap.

An aftermarket 20mm alligator strap with brushed steel deployant ensures maximum aesthetic and functional compatibility. If you prefer natural texture and aged patina, vegetable-tanned calf offers character, while shell cordovan ensures structural durability and progressive lustre over time.

A quality alligator strap lasts an average of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Vegetable tanning ages more quickly (2-4 years), while shell cordovan can last 5-7 years. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and humidity, and apply protective balm every 6-8 months to maintain the elasticity and brilliance of the leather.
