Strap for De Ville Tourbillon Platinum / Baguette / Silver

The De Ville 5944.40.31 has a lug width of 20mm, measured between the case attachment pins. This measurement is critical for compatibility: straps of 19mm or 21mm will not fit correctly. You can verify this with a caliper or by contacting the Milano Straps team for consultation.

For the dress watch vocation of the De Ville 5944.40.31, we recommend genuine alligator or vegetable-tanned calf leather. Alligator offers a fine and regular grain that elegantly complements the brushed steel case. Vegetable-tanned calf develops a fascinating patina over time and is ideal if you seek a strap that evolves visually with daily use.

Changing the strap requires a spring bar tool. Gently remove the old strap by sliding it out from the pins, then insert the new strap ensuring the pins click completely into the case seats. If you are not experienced, the Casati Milano atelier offers strap-changing service at their location by appointment.

Yes, any strap with a 20mm lug width is compatible with the De Ville 5944.40.31. Milano Straps offers a complete catalogue of artisanal 20mm leather straps customizable in leather type, color, size and details, guaranteeing superior quality and longevity compared to standard straps.

A quality alligator or calf strap, with regular use, lasts on average 5-7 years before requiring replacement. If exposed to frequent moisture or constant perspiration, the lifespan may be reduced to 3-4 years. The Casati Milano atelier guarantees 18 months and offers restoration and regeneration services to extend the life of your strap.
