Green Ostrich Leg Strap for an Omega De Ville
Share
A 1980 Omega De Ville Quartz is a slim gold-toned dress watch, and this owner in Tennessee gave it an unexpected lift: green ostrich leg leather with a gold buckle, built at 70/115mm. Green is a bold choice on a dress watch, and a vintage De Ville has no current factory strap, so it was cut to order.
Strap specifications
| Leather | Green ostrich leg |
|---|---|
| Strap length | 70/115 mm (about 2.8/4.5 in) |
| Buckle width | 16 mm |
| Buckle | Classic, gold |
| Spring bar | Quick release |
Why these choices
Ostrich leg is the scaled leg leather, with a fine, even, reptilian-looking grain, distinct from the raised quill bumps of body ostrich. That grain gives a green strap depth and keeps it from looking flat, so the color reads rich rather than plasticky. On a gold-toned De Ville, green is a confident pairing that still works because the texture and the warm metal keep it grounded.
A gold buckle matches the vintage case, and the 16 mm buckle width keeps the proportions right on a slim dress watch. The 70/115 mm length was cut to the wrist, and quick-release spring bars let the strap come off without tools, which is gentle on an older case.
FAQ
Does a green strap work on a vintage Omega De Ville?
Yes. Green ostrich leg leather pairs surprisingly well with a gold-toned dress case; the texture and warm metal keep a bold color looking intentional rather than loud.
Can you build for a discontinued Omega De Ville?
Yes. We cut to your lug width and wrist size from scratch, which is how a 1980s watch with no current strap gets one that fits.
