Strap for Da Vinci Tourbillon Leonardo White Gold / French

The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3752-24 is 19mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two spring bars that attach the strap to the case. To measure correctly, position a digital calliper perpendicular to the lugs, measuring from inner edge to inner edge. A strap with any width other than 19mm will not be compatible with this reference.

For the white gold Da Vinci, alligator leather in black is the classical choice: its regular grain naturally complements the white metal without visual competition. Shell cordovan in dark tones develops a patina over time, adding character. Vegetable-tanned calf leather provides softness and direct skin contact. Technical rubber straps in grey or dark blue reinterpret the watch with a sport-technical aesthetic whilst maintaining balanced proportions.

Strap replacement requires a spring bar tool positioned perpendicular to the lug, pressing gently until the spring bar is freed. Extract the pin and repeat on the second lug. Insert the new strap by seating the spring bars into their housings until you hear a click, confirming secure seating. If you lack experience, consult an authorised service centre.

Yes, any strap with a 19mm lug width (measured internally) is fully compatible with the Da Vinci IW3752-24. Artisan straps of quality, crafted in alligator, shell cordovan or calf leather, fit perfectly onto the case lugs. Always verify the stated lug width from the manufacturer. A well-crafted aftermarket strap can last as long as the watch movement if subjected to regular maintenance.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on material and usage intensity. Alligator and shell cordovan, if maintained periodically (cleaning, annual conditioning), remain functional for 5–7 years of continuous wear. Vegetable-tanned calf typically fatigues within 3–4 years. Technical rubber straps offer greater longevity (8–10 years) but lose elasticity progressively. Direct sun exposure, salt perspiration and extreme temperatures accelerate leather degradation.
