Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 38.7 Big Date White Gold / Silver

The Omega De Ville 4624.30.32 requires a lug width of 19.00mm. This measurement is specific to the case lugs and ensures a perfect fit without lateral play. To verify it with certainty, measure the distance between the inner left edge and the inner right edge of the lug using a digital caliper or consult a professional watchmaker.

Alligator is the ideal choice for this dress model in white gold: the natural pattern of scutes and regular texture emphasize the formal elegance of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf leather offers excellent patina development over time, while shell cordovan creates a refined contrast. We advise against sports or synthetic materials, which would contradict the dress-elegant identity of the timepiece.

The De Ville 4624.30.32 features straight spring bars. To remove the strap, use a spring bar tool: insert the tip into the upper slot of the lug, apply gentle pressure to compress the internal spring, and extract the bar. Proceed symmetrically on the other side. To install the new strap, insert the spring bars into the side holes, align the strap and press until it clicks. If you are not experienced, consult a professional watchmaker.

The strap can absolutely be aftermarket. The Omega De Ville 4624.30.32 uses a widespread construction standard (19mm lug width), compatible with countless quality artisanal straps. In fact, a custom strap from a specialized atelier often surpasses the quality and customization of the original strap, thanks to leather selection, stitching details and exclusive finishes.

A quality alligator or calf leather strap (preferably vegetable-tanned) lasts 3–5 years with conscious daily wear. Longevity depends on: environmental humidity, frequency of wear, sun exposure and maintenance care. A well-maintained strap treated periodically with specific leather products can last even longer. Shell cordovan, being harder and more resistant, tends to have a slightly longer lifespan.
