Frequently asked questions
What is the exact lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3750-28?
The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3750-28 is 19 millimetres. This dimension is specific to this particular reference and differs from other IWC models sharing the same case diameter. To verify the measurement, measure the distance between the two metal pins that insert into the case lugs.
Which strap material pairs best with the Da Vinci IW3750-28?
Genuine alligator is the most harmonious choice, as its natural grain and shield pattern amplify the elegance of the sculpted dial. Vegetable-tanned calf is excellent for those seeking a patina that evolves over time. Shell cordovan remains the connoisseur's selection for structural density and characteristic lustre.
How is the strap changed on the IW3750-28?
The strap is changed via removable spring bars that connect the lugs to the case. Use a spring bar tool to carefully withdraw the pins from the lugs, then detach the old strap and insert the new one, ensuring the pins fully engage the case eyes. If you lack experience, consult an expert such as atelier Casati Milano.
Is an aftermarket 19mm strap compatible with the Da Vinci IW3750-28?
Yes, any artisanal strap constructed specifically for the 19-millimetre lug width is compatible. It is essential to verify that the strap is made for this exact width and not for approximate universal sizes. Straps from milanostraps.it are manufactured to this precise specification.
What is the service life of a leather strap for this timepiece?
A high-quality artisanal leather strap lasts between 3 and 5 years with daily wear, depending on material choice and maintenance. Alligator and shell cordovan tend to last longer due to structural density. Vegetable-tanned leather develops a natural patina and remains serviceable beyond 5 years if preserved from excessive moisture. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee on all artisanal straps.
