Strap for De Ville Tourbillon Co-Axial Platinum / Baguette / Snow / Omega Boutique

The lug width of the De Ville 513.98.39.21.56.001 is 20 mm. This width must be measured perpendicularly between the case lug pins, excluding any protrusions. To ensure a precise fit, the acceptable tolerance is ±0.5 mm.

For a platinum timepiece, alligator in discreet shades (black, cognac brown, grey) represents the most elegant choice. Alternatively, vegetable-tanned calf offers natural patina that evolves over time, while shell cordovan guarantees pure artisanal excellence. A silk or cotton NATO strap is the most appropriate sporty solution.

Remove the current lugs by inserting a spring bar tool into the lateral hole of the pin, gently lifting until the internal spring is released. Once the pin is extracted, insert the new strap by aligning it correctly with the two lugs, then reinsert the pin ensuring it clicks into position. Verify that the strap is securely fastened before wearing the watch.

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible. However, to preserve the value and aesthetic integrity of a platinum timepiece with Chronometer Tourbillon movement, we recommend artisanal straps crafted from premium leathers and construction finishes that match Omega standards.

Durability depends on daily use, material, and tanning method. High-quality watch-grade alligator or calf with vegetable tanning maintains structural integrity for 3-5 years of regular use. Shell cordovan, due to its density, can exceed 7 years. Humidity, perspiration, and direct sun exposure accelerate aging; periodic maintenance extends the strap's lifespan.
