Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 39 Small Seconds Stainless Steel / Grey

The Omega De Ville 4813.40.01 features a 20mm lug width, measured between the two lugs protruding from the case. This measurement is essential for selecting compatible straps. You can verify the dimension by placing a digital caliper between the lugs, ensuring accuracy of ±0.5mm.

For the De Ville 4813.40.01 we recommend black alligator in vegetable tanning for formal elegance, shell cordovan for tonal depth that develops over time, or Swiss calf for versatile daily wear. The choice depends on the occasion: alligator for formal events, shell cordovan for mixed-use, calf for everyday wear.

Changing the strap on the De Ville 4813.40.01 requires a specific tool to compress the spring bars and extract them from the case lugs. Position the watch face-down on a soft cloth, insert the spring bar removal tool into the lateral notch of the case, and gently push the bar until extraction. Repeat on the other side. The new strap is installed by reversing the process.

Yes, numerous 20mm aftermarket straps are compatible with the De Ville 4813.40.01. Always verify that the internal lug opening has the correct dimensions (width must be 20mm ±0.2mm) and that the spring bars are stainless steel or gold-plated. Milan Straps offers a complete collection of 20mm straps customizable in material, color, and stitching thread.

A quality leather strap—alligator, shell cordovan, or Swiss calf—has an average lifespan of 3-5 years with moderate daily use. Wear depends on exposure to moisture, heat, UV rays, and frequency of use. A well-maintained strap, waterproofed every 12 months and stored in dry conditions, can exceed 7 years. We recommend rotating 2-3 straps to extend the life of each one.
