Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 22 Yellow Gold / MOP

The lug width of the De Ville 4670.71.02 is 20 mm. This measurement is taken between the inner edges of the upper and lower lugs. It is essential to ensure that the strap does not hang loosely or become excessively compressed. Omega maintained this specification throughout the entire production run of the model, guaranteeing compatibility between different examples.

Alligator represents the most coherent choice with the dress watch design. The natural, discreet and regular grain does not compete with the purity of the yellow gold case. Shell cordovan also offers a fascinating alternative thanks to the natural patina that evolves over time. Vegetable-tanned calf leather ensures comparable construction solidity, with a slightly more visible grain.

Strap replacement requires the use of a specific tool to extract the lug pins. Position the watch on a soft surface, use the removal tool to gently push the pins outward, then remove the old strap. Insert the new strap by aligning the holes with the lugs and reinsert the pins. If you are not experienced, entrust the task to a professional service to avoid damage to the case.

Yes, any strap equipped with standard 20 mm attachments is mechanically compatible. However, aesthetic compatibility requires attention: the strap must respect the dress watch identity of the model. Avoid colors in marked contrast such as absolute black with a yellow gold case, and prefer materials that develop natural patina over time, such as alligator or shell cordovan.

A quality alligator strap, subject to ordinary maintenance, guarantees a lifespan of 8-12 years of regular use. Longevity depends on frequency of use, sun exposure, conditioning treatments and ambient humidity. Alligator, being a natural leather with cohesive fibers, develops protective patina over time if properly maintained, extending durability beyond initial expectations.
