Strap for De Ville Prestige Quartz 22 Stainless Steel / Silver / Strap

The lug width of the De Ville 4870.33.01 is 18mm. This means the strap must be exactly 18mm wide to fit correctly between the lugs of the case. You can verify this measurement using a caliper or ruler, positioning yourself between the two lugs on the back of the watch.

The best strap depends on your intended use. For formal elegance, alligator is the most sophisticated choice, with its regular pattern that perfectly complements the simplicity of the case. For everyday versatility, vegetable-tanned calf develops a personal patina over time. If you seek extreme durability and maintenance-free wear, shell cordovan offers incomparable resistance. For sporty practicality, a NATO-style fabric strap guarantees longevity without care.

The De Ville 4870.33.01 features a non-standard integrated lug. We recommend contacting a specialized watchmaker or the Casati Milano atelier for strap changes, as the operation requires specific tools and expertise to preserve the case. Do not attempt a DIY change, as you risk damaging the case lugs.

Yes, there are aftermarket 18mm straps compatible with the De Ville 4870.33.01. Find the complete selection of 18mm straps on milanostraps.it, where you can choose from various materials (alligator, calf, shell cordovan, rubber) and customize dimensions, initials, and stitching thread color.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material quality and daily use. A high-quality alligator or shell cordovan strap, subjected to moderate wear (not worn during sports or bathing), can last 5-7 years or more. Vegetable-tanned calf has similar longevity, but visible patina develops within the first 6-12 months, making aging part of the appeal. To maximize durability, rotate your straps and allow the material to rest between uses.
