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

The lug width of the Omega De Ville 4875.50.01 is 20 millimetres. This measurement represents the distance between the case shoulders where the strap is attached. Always verify this measurement by positioning a ruler perpendicular directly between the case lugs, avoiding confusion between lug width and strap thickness.

The best material depends on intended use and personal preferences. For formal elegance, vegetable-tanned alligator represents excellence, offering regular texture and natural grip. For versatility, vegetable-tanned calf develops a fascinating patina over time. For those who prioritize durability with refinement, shell cordovan maintains an unmatched glossy finish. For contemporary contexts, rubber preserves minimalist elegance without functional compromises.

The Omega De Ville 4875.50.01 features integrated steel lugs, meaning the strap attaches directly to this metal structure through drilled holes. To replace the strap, insert a spring bar (pin) through the hole in the lug, gently pushing the old strap out of the attachment holes. Then insert the new strap and ensure the spring bar is completely inserted on both sides.

Any strap with a 20 millimetre lug width is compatible with the De Ville 4875.50.01. Online you can find 20mm straps ready to ship, customizable in length, initials and thread colour. For optimal results, choose materials that highlight the watch's aesthetic sobriety, such as alligator, vegetable-tanned calf or shell cordovan, rather than overly sporty variants.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the material, frequency of use and care. An alligator or vegetable-tanned calf strap, used daily, generally maintains excellent functionality for 3-5 years. Shell cordovan, being denser and more robust, can last 5-7 years. To extend longevity, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct heat. Casati Milano offers an 18-month warranty on made-to-order straps.
