Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual Rattrapante Yellow Gold / Silver / Italian

The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3751-06 is 19.00mm. This dimension is standard for the Manufacture's dress watch models and is compatible with all straps constructed to this specific width, regardless of material or aftermarket brand.

For this yellow gold model, we recommend alligator leather in vegetable tanning (black, brown, or burgundy) or cognac shell cordovan with natural patina. Both materials respect the classical aesthetic of the Da Vinci and harmonise beautifully with the warm metal. Avoid rubber or sports-style straps, which would betray its dress watch character.

The operation requires a dedicated spring bar tool to compress the lateral pins of the lugs. Position the watch on a soft surface, lift the old strap, extract the spring bars, insert the new strap, and ensure the pins click correctly into place. If uncertain, consult a certified watchmaker.

Yes, any strap constructed with a 19mm lug width is compatible with the IW3751-06. Milano Straps offers certified premium leather straps and bespoke options, guaranteed for 18 months. Verify that the lug width is exactly 19mm to avoid fitting issues.

A quality leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 5-7 years with daily use, provided it is regularly exposed to sun and moisture. Patina and natural ageing are desirable, not defects. A well-preserved strap not subjected to excessive stress (steam, frequent water) can exceed 10 years.
