FAQ

What is the lug width of the Omega De Ville 424.23.40.20.13.001?

The lug width of this model is 20 mm. This measurement corresponds to the internal width of the space between the lugs on the case where the strap is inserted. It is essential to verify that the strap is exactly 20 mm wide for a perfect fit without gaps or friction.

What type of strap is best suited for the Omega De Ville 424.23.40.20.13.001?

Vegetable-tanned alligator remains the ideal choice thanks to its regular grain and the patina it develops over time, in perfect harmony with the two-tone case in red gold and steel. Alternatively, calf or cordovan offer versatility while maintaining high quality.

How do you change the strap on the Omega De Ville 424.23.40.20.13.001?

The strap is replaced by removing the metal spring bars from the ends of the old strap using a dedicated tool (spring bar remover). Once the spring bars are freed, they are inserted into the new strap by aligning the holes with the lug slots. The operation requires precision to avoid damaging the leather.

Are aftermarket straps compatible with the De Ville 424.23.40.20.13.001?

Yes, any strap with a 20 mm lug width is compatible, provided the internal width between the lugs matches this measurement exactly. We recommend straps made with vegetable tanning and archival-quality leather to maintain qualitative coherence with the watch.

What is the average lifespan of a leather strap for this watch?

A leather strap with vegetable tanning and quality craftsmanship lasts an average of 3-5 years with daily use, provided regular maintenance is performed (drying after moisture exposure, annual conditioning). The lifespan depends on the intensity of use and climatic conditions.
