Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 41 Chronoscope Rattrapante Stainless Steel / Black

The De Ville 4847.50.31 is fitted with a 20mm lug width. This measurement is determined by the width of the attachment pins milled directly into the stainless steel case. You can verify it by measuring the distance between the internal pins with a digital caliper. All watch straps certified by Milano Straps for this measurement are guaranteed to be compatible with your model.

The choice depends on your use and personal preferences. For a formal and dressy context, an alligator with regular grain offers sophisticated aesthetics and durability. For those seeking longevity and noble aging, vegetable-tanned calf develops a patina progressively over the years. For everyday versatility, shell cordovan combines robustness and refinement. A high-density rubber strap remains the most practical choice for sports and casual contexts.

Use a spring bar tool to gently remove the anchor pins from the lugs. Position the forked tip of the tool on one of the pins, pushing slightly toward the center of the case to compress the internal spring. Extract the old pin and insert the new strap pin into the same hole. Repeat for the other pin. Make sure the pins are secure before wearing the watch.

Yes. All straps made for a 20mm lug width are compatible with the De Ville 4847.50.31, regardless of brand. Milano Straps offers a complete selection of aftermarket straps in alligator, calf, shell cordovan, and rubber, designed and hand-stitched according to the specifications of this model. The Casati Milano atelier also creates bespoke custom straps with exclusive personalizations.

Durability depends on the quality of the material, frequency of use, and care. A superior quality alligator or shell cordovan maintains aesthetic functionality for 5-7 years with daily wear, developing characteristic patina. Vegetable-tanned calf, being softer, may need replacement in 3-5 years. Periodic application of specific balms extends the strap's life. Milano Straps straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
