Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual Rattrapante Platinum / Blue / German

The lug width (ansa width) of the IWC Da Vinci IW3754-05 is 20 millimetres. This is the internal distance between the two horizontal lugs of the case where the strap attaches. Always verify the measurement with a digital calliper before ordering a replacement strap, as even small variations result in incompatibility.

For the Da Vinci IW3754-05 in platinum, alligator (African crocodile) and vegetable-tanned calf leather are recommended, complementing the formal elegance of white metal. Alligator in dark tones (brown, anthracite grey) is ideal for formal occasions, whilst natural calf allows a patina that develops character over time. For sports use, canvas NATO or FKM rubber offers practicality.

Place the watch on a soft cushion with the caseback facing upwards. Use a spring bar removal tool to gently lift the spring bar mechanism holding the strap on each side. Once the lugs are released, remove the old strap. Align the new strap with the lug holes and reinsert the spring bars until you feel them click into place. Verify the strap is centred before wearing the watch.

Yes, any quality aftermarket strap with a 20mm lug width is fully compatible with the Da Vinci IW3754-05. Artisanal straps from milanostraps.it are manufactured to elevated standards and guarantee total compatibility, with the option of personalisation in leather type, colour and buckle finishing.

A quality leather strap (alligator or vegetable-tanned calf) maintains structural integrity for 3 to 5 years with daily wear, depending on exposure to humidity and temperature fluctuations. The leather naturally wears, developing a patina that increases its character. With regular maintenance (drying after moisture exposure and occasional treatment with natural wax), durability extends further. Artisanal straps from Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty.
