Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 41 Chronograph Red Gold / Silver

The Omega De Ville 4650.20.32 is equipped with 20mm lugs. This measurement is standard for classic watches with a 41mm diameter and ensures balanced proportions between case and strap. An 18mm or 22mm strap would not fit correctly.

Alligator represents the most formal choice, enhancing the warm tone of rose gold with natural texture. For timeless elegance, vegetable-tanned calf develops a captivating patina. Shell cordovan offers robustness and noble aging, while NATO creates a deliberate contrast. The choice depends on intended use: formal, business-casual, or smart-casual sporty.

The strap is replaced using a spring bar remover tool (two-pronged). Position one prong under the spring of the lug, gently press upward to compress the internal spring, and slide the old strap out. Repeat on the other side. Insert the new strap symmetrically, ensuring both springs click into position. If unsure, consult a watchmaker or our Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, provided the strap is exactly 20mm and constructed with quality materials. An artisanal strap in fine leather causes no damage. Avoid cheap straps with poor stitching or rough finishes, which could scratch the rose gold lugs. Our straps are designed to fit perfectly without stressing the case shoulders.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with daily wear, developing a captivating patina over time. Longevity depends on tanning method, frequency of use, and exposure to moisture and perspiration. Our artisanal straps are guaranteed for 18 months and crafted from exceptional leathers, so they tend to last longer. Regular maintenance (cleaning and conditioning) significantly extends longevity.
