Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual White Ceramic / Yellow Gold / White / Italian

The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3755-06 is 19 mm. This measurement represents the distance between the two pins that connect the lugs to the case and is determined by the proportions of the 39 mm case. Ensure you measure the lug holes correctly before purchasing a compatible strap.

Material choice depends on intended use. Alligator in black or dark brown enhances formal elegance. Vegetable-tanned calf offers natural patina and dignified ageing. Shell cordovan develops extraordinary chromatic depth. For everyday sporting contexts, FKM rubber or a cotton NATO strap maintains refinement without excessive formality.

The procedure requires a specific tool to remove the pins from the lugs. Place the watch on a soft surface, locate the side pins, use a spring bar tool or dedicated implement to gently extract the pins, remove the old strap and insert the new one by aligning the holes. If inexperienced, consult a specialist service such as Casati Milano atelier.

Yes, provided the strap is designed for a 19 mm lug width. However, not all straps are equal: consider construction quality, leather type (alligator, calf, shell cordovan), and the buckle or deployant in yellow gold for aesthetic coherence with the case. You will find dedicated 19 mm straps online, customisable according to your preferences.

A quality leather strap, especially in alligator or shell cordovan, typically lasts 3-7 years in daily use, depending on exposure to perspiration, moisture and mechanical wear. Vegetable-tanned leather ages faster but develops a desirable patina. Rubber resists 5-10 years. A well-maintained strap protected from excessive moisture can last considerably longer, developing narrative beauty over time.
