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

The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3754-02 is 20 mm. This measurement represents the physical distance between the two lugs on the case and determines compatibility with aftermarket straps. You can measure it by inserting a calliper between the upper lugs or by measuring the original strap on the inner side of the lug.

For the Da Vinci IW3754-02 in rose gold, alligator leather in cognac brown or shell cordovan represent optimal choices. Alligator emphasises the texture of the gold with regular natural grain, whilst shell cordovan develops patina over time, creating aesthetic harmony with the metal's ageing. Vegetable-tanned calf leather in burgundy tones offers understated elegance for daily wear.

The strap is changed by removing the buckle's spring bars using a dedicated tool (spring bar tool). Insert the tool into the lateral hole of the lug to compress the internal spring and extract the pin. Repeat for both lugs and insert the new strap following the reverse procedure. Handle with care to avoid scratching the rose gold case.

Yes, aftermarket straps with 20 mm lug width are fully compatible with the Da Vinci IW3754-02. Compatibility is guaranteed by the standardisation of lug width. Milano Straps offers straps in alligator, shell cordovan, calf leather and fabric, all customisable in size, initials and stitching colour.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on intensity of use and material quality. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, with regular maintenance (cleaning and conditioning every 6–12 months), can last 5–10 years. Vegetable-tanned calf leather typically has a durability of 3–5 years. Casati Milano offers an 18-month guarantee and provides maintenance and replacement services.
