Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Omega De Ville 4652.20.32?
The lug width of the Omega De Ville 4652.20.32 is 16mm. This width is determined by the proportions of the 38.7mm case and the tapered lugs of the model. It is essential to measure it precisely before ordering an aftermarket strap, as even half a millimetre difference will make the attachment unstable.
What is the best strap for the Omega De Ville 4652.20.32?
Dark brown or cognac alligator represents the choice most consistent with Geneva dress watch tradition. Shell cordovan offers an elegant alternative with stratified patina over time. For those seeking versatility, vegetable-tanned calf guarantees robustness and conscious aging. Black alligator introduces elegant contrast while maintaining 1960s formalism.
How do you change the strap on the Omega De Ville 4652.20.32?
The strap is changed via spring bars that run through the lugs. Use a spring bar tool gently, pushing the spring bar lever inward to release it. Remove the old bar, insert the new strap into the seat and snap the bar into place. Verify that the strap is exactly 16mm wide at the lug width to prevent lateral movement.
Is an aftermarket strap compatible with the 4652.20.32?
Yes, any strap with a 16mm lug width is compatible with the 4652.20.32. Milano Straps offers handcrafted straps in alligator, shell cordovan, vegetable-tanned calf and technical fabric, all customizable in sizes, initials and stitching type. The Casati Milano atelier also offers bespoke service with personal consultation.
How long does a leather strap last on this watch?
A quality handcrafted leather strap typically lasts 3-5 years under normal conditions of use, with variability based on climate, frequency of wear and maintenance. Alligator and shell cordovan show greater longevity than standard calf. Leather exposed to prolonged humidity ages more quickly. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months and recommends annual checks of stitching and buckle, especially in humid climates.
