Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Platinum

The IWC Da Vinci IW3761-01 features a lug width of 24 mm, a non-standard dimension that requires specific watch straps. This measurement is taken between the spring bar pins and is essential to ensure a precise fit without undesirable gaps.

Deep black alligator remains the noblest choice for the platinum Da Vinci: its natural texture with geometrically arranged pores harmonises perfectly with the perpetual calendar's complexity. Alternatively, shell cordovan offers a natural patina that ages magnificently, or vegetable-tanned calf leather for those preferring a more contemporary solution.

The Da Vinci IW3761-01 uses a spring bar bayonet fastening to secure the strap to the lugs. Gently press the spring from the underside of the case to release the strap, then carefully extract downwards. When inserting a new strap, ensure the spring clicks fully into place, verifying with your fingers that the strap is firmly secured.

Yes, absolutely. However, the 24 mm lug width is non-standard: you will not find generic straps readily available. We recommend bespoke, artisanal straps specifically manufactured for this width to guarantee maximum compatibility and construction quality.

Durability varies based on material and usage. An alligator or shell cordovan strap, with regular maintenance, lasts 5–8 years with daily wear. Vegetable-tanned calf leather has a slightly shorter lifespan of 3–5 years. Ageing is part of the charm: the leather matures, developing a unique patina.
