Strap for De Ville Prestige Co-Axial 36.5 Stainless Steel / Silver

The lug width of the De Ville 4875.31.01 is 18 millimetres. This parameter is determined by the case's integrated lugs and represents the distance between the two side pins where the strap is inserted. An 18mm strap is the only size compatible with this model.

The best strap depends on your usage and aesthetic preferences. Alligator offers elegance with vivid texture and superior flexibility. Vegetable-tanned calf develops a rich patina over time. Shell cordovan guarantees extreme durability and chromatic complexity. For formal contexts, smooth black calf on a deployant clasp ensures absolute austerity.

Remove the watch from your wrist. Using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool) or a small flathead screwdriver, gently push the side pin towards the inside of the case to disengage it from the spring. Remove the old strap. Insert the new strap (always 18mm) into the lugs, ensuring the pin clicks into both positions. Verify stability before wearing the watch.

Yes, any 18mm aftermarket strap is compatible with the De Ville 4875.31.01. Milano Straps offers a complete collection of leather and synthetic straps, all manufactured for this lug width. The quality of aftermarket straps can exceed that of the original strap, allowing you complete customization.

Durability depends on the material and usage. A standard calf strap lasts on average 2-3 years with moderate daily use. Alligator, due to its fibrous structure, reaches 3-4 years. Shell cordovan, being the most resistant leather, can last 5+ years. Vegetable-tanned leather tends to develop aesthetic creases after 3-4 years, but this is part of the charm of aging. Rubber or synthetic straps last 4-5 years without significant visual alterations.
