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

The lug width of the De Ville 4850.30.37 is 18mm. This measurement is specific to the model and is determined by the distance between the attachment pins integrated into the case. Always verify manually by measuring the pins to rule out approximate compatibility.

Nile crocodile remains the most stylistically coherent choice, maintaining the constructive proportion of the case. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers tactile lightness and natural aging, while Japanese shell cordovan introduces optical richness and superior durability. Structured rubber is ideal for robust daily use.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar removal tool. Position the watch with the lug facing upward, insert the tool into the small lateral recesses of the pins, apply downward pressure to disengage the spring, and retract the pin. Reverse the procedure to mount the new strap. If preferred, the Casati Milano atelier provides custom fitting service.

Yes, provided it respects the 18mm lug width. Milano Straps produces customizable straps specifically for this measurement. Ensure that the strap thickness is coherent with the case proportions (not excessively heavy), and that the buckle or deployant does not alter the aesthetic line of the watch.

Durability depends on the material and use. Nile crocodile typically lasts 3-4 years with active daily wear, vegetable-tanned calf 2-3 years, shell cordovan 5-7 years. Aging is natural and imparts aesthetic patina. Milano Straps offers an 18-month warranty on bespoke straps made in-atelier.
