Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 38.7 Power Reserve Stainless Steel / Silver / Fernando Pessoa

The lug width of the De Ville 4834.32.32 is precisely 18mm. This measurement refers to the distance between the holes where the strap attaches to the case. An 18mm strap is the only one compatible with this model; narrower or wider straps will result in excessive play or difficulty in installation. Always verify this measurement with a caliper before ordering an aftermarket strap.

Alligator represents the ideal choice for the De Ville 4834.32.32, thanks to its natural texture and fine grain that reflect the formal sobriety of the watch. Shell cordovan is an excellent alternative for those who desire a patina that evolves over time. Vegetable-tanned calfskin offers daily versatility while maintaining high quality standards. FKM rubber straps represent a contemporary choice for those who appreciate the contrast between formal elegance and sporty functionality.

Remove the watch from your wrist and place it on a soft surface (microfibre cloth). Using a spring bar tool, apply light and controlled pressure on the spring pin inside the lug. The pin will retract, allowing the bar to be extracted. Repeat the operation on the other lug. Insert the new bars into the strap, then attach the first bar into the spring on the upper lug, compress slightly downward and snap the bar into its housing. Repeat for the second lug. Proceed with care: the stainless steel case of the De Ville is robust, but the lugs must be treated with respect.

Absolutely yes. A quality aftermarket 18mm strap is perfectly compatible with the De Ville 4834.32.32. What matters is ensuring that the strap has spring bars of the correct length and that the material (leather, rubber or fabric) is of excellent quality. Milano Straps offers artisanal 18mm straps made from alligator, shell cordovan and calfskin, all tested for precise compatibility with this Omega reference. Custom straps from Casati Milano guarantee a perfect fit thanks to bespoke craftsmanship.

The durability of a leather strap depends on the quality of the leather, daily use and care. A high-quality alligator strap can last 3-5 years with regular use and proper maintenance (drying after moisture exposure, protection from prolonged direct sunlight). Shell cordovan, thanks to its natural density, can exceed 5-7 years. Vegetable-tanned calfskin typically lasts 2-4 years. Straps crafted by Casati Milano benefit from an 18-month warranty, which covers manufacturing defects. Leather is a living material: with careful care and regular rotation between different straps, your De Ville will always have the ideal companion on your wrist.
