Strap for De Ville Co-Axial 35 Chronograph Stainless Steel / Diamond / MOP / Olympic Timeless

The Omega De Ville 4876.70.36 has a lug width of 20mm. This dimension, measured between the two lugs of the case at the strap contact zone, is decisive for compatibility with aftermarket straps. A digital caliper positioned perpendicularly between the lugs confirms this measurement with precision.

The De Ville 4876.70.36 favours formal straps: mahogany or black alligator for its dress watch vocation, vegetable-tanned calf leather for those who wish to engage with natural ageing, grey canvas NATO for those who embrace contemporary irony. The choice depends on use: office and dinner suggest alligator, daily life recommends calf leather, casual weekends invite the NATO.

The change requires two tools: a spring bar tool (pen that extracts the pressure bars) and a flat surface. Gently loosen the old strap by extracting the spring bars from their seats, position the new bars in the housings, insert the new strap and secure with controlled pressure. Avoid sudden movements that could scratch the steel case.

Yes, but only if the lug width is 20mm. Many modern straps maintain this measurement. Avoid universal straps that are not calibrated, which could slip. The straps proposed by Milano Straps for the 20mm size are tested for mechanical and aesthetic compatibility.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) lasts on average 3-5 years with daily use. Durability depends on climate, personal perspiration, cleaning frequency and storage. The Casati Milano warranty is 18 months on stitching and structural durability; aesthetic wear is natural and enhances the vintage aspect of the strap.
