Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39 Small Seconds Yelllow Gold / Silver Diamond

The Omega De Ville 4613.35.02 features a lug width of 18 millimetres. This width is specific to the case's structural geometry and must be strictly observed to maintain the original aesthetic proportions. Correct measurement is performed by positioning the calliper between the case lugs, excluding the lugs themselves.

Nile crocodile represents the most coherent choice for its formal vocation and gold materiality. The fine and regular grain reflects light with the same sobriety as the case. Valid alternatives are vegetable-tanned calf for a patina that develops over time, or shell cordovan for those appreciating greater material complexity and progressive colour change.

The De Ville uses a standard spring bar system for dress watches. Obtain a spring bar removal tool and position the tip in the lateral slot of the lug. Apply gentle pressure to release the lug from the spring, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and snap the springs into position. If unfamiliar with the procedure, entrust the task to a professional watchmaker to avoid scratches.

Yes, any strap with a certified lug width of 18 millimetres is mechanically compatible. However, aesthetic compatibility requires conscious choices: the material and colour must dialogue with the case gold without creating visual discord. Milano Straps offers custom-made 18mm straps for this model with personalised material selection.

Durability depends on material and usage. Vegetable-tanned crocodile resists 4–6 years with regular wear and adequate maintenance (periodic cleaning and sun protection). Shell cordovan, being denser, can last 5–7 years. Common calf has a lifespan of 3–4 years. Preventive replacement is advised upon the first signs of creasing, before the strap deteriorates and risks failure during wear. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all custom straps.
