What I'm asked about the IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04

What strap size does the IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04 take?

The IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04 needs 21 mm between the lugs, usually 18 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04 be changed?

Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.

Can I put a leather strap on the IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04?

Yes, in 21 mm leather. On a 43 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Which strap do you recommend for the IWC Big Pilot IW3293-04?

A 21 mm calf strap, for every day. You'll find it ready in the 21 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
