Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 35 Power Reserve Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the De Ville 4863.31.32 is 14 millimeters. This dimension is determined by the case geometry and the lugs. To verify strap compatibility, measure the distance between the two spring bar holes at the case ends: it must correspond exactly to 14mm.

For the De Ville 4863.31.32, we recommend superior quality alligator in dark brown or black for formal contexts. Artisanal alligator maintains harmonious proportions with the 35mm case without oversizing the wrist. For versatility, vegetable-tanned Italian calf offers a patina that evolves over time, maintaining elegance without excessive formality.

Use a spring bar tool to gently lift the small metal pins (spring bars) at the two case ends. Remove the old strap by extracting the pin from one side. Insert the new strap into the hole and press the spring bar until it clicks into position. Verify that both sides are correctly secured before wearing the watch.

Any strap with a 14mm lug width is compatible. The Milano Straps online collection offers dozens of artisanal options in various finishes, materials, and colorations, all available with customization of sizes and stitching. We recommend choosing straps that respect the dress aesthetic of the model, avoiding excessive thickness.

A quality artisanal strap in alligator or calf typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily wear. Durability depends on frequency of wear, climate conditions, and maintenance. Shell cordovan straps require regular rotation to distribute wear. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on all custom straps.
