Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.5 Stainless Steel / Silver

The Omega De Ville 4812.30.02 features a lug width of 20mm, measured between the case lugs at the spring bar seats. This measurement is specific to the model and represents a balanced intermediate standard that ensures proportional harmony on a 36.50mm case.

For the 4812.30.02, black or cognac alligator remains the classic choice that enhances the understated elegance of this dress watch. Vegetable-tanned calf leather (Pueblo, Crazy Horse) offers greater versatility with natural textures that age gracefully, ennobling the timepiece. The choice depends on intended use: formal occasions call for alligator, daily wear benefits from the suppleness of calf leather.

The strap is replaced using specific tools (spring bar removal tools): insert the tool into the slot beneath the lug, gently push the spring bar axis inward, remove the axis with tweezers, then extract the lug. Reinstallation proceeds in reverse. If uncertain, the Casati Milano atelier offers strap replacement service by appointment with personalized consultation.

All straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible. Milano Straps offers a specialized collection in 20mm, customizable in leather, length, initials, and stitching details. Always verify that your model features standard lugs before placing an order.

A quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years of daily wear, depending on climate, personal perspiration, and maintenance. Vegetable-tanned leathers require periodic conditioning (every 6-8 months) to preserve elasticity. Milano Straps guarantees 18 months on custom straps from the Casati Milano atelier.
