Strap for Da Vinci Chronograph Laureus

The lug width of the IWC Da Vinci IW3764-04 is 24 millimetres. This measurement is taken between the two spring bar pins where the strap attaches to the case. Verifying this dimension before purchasing an aftermarket strap is essential, as even 1-2mm deviation will compromise fit and wearability.

For the Da Vinci IW3764-04, we recommend alligator leather in dark tones (black, brown, grey), or vegetable-tanned calf in bordeaux or cognac. Shell cordovan is ideal if you desire a strap that develops a visible patina over time. Avoid overly sports-oriented materials such as NATO or rubber, as these would undermine the mechanical refinement of the chronograph.

The Da Vinci's strap is changed by removing the two spring bar pins that pass through the case lugs. You may use a dedicated spring bar tool or a very fine screwdriver. Gently push the pin from one side until it protrudes partially, then extract it fully. Insert the new strap and reinstall the pins. If unsure, entrust the task to an authorised service centre.

Yes, the IWC Da Vinci accepts any strap with a 24mm lug width, regardless of brand. On milanostraps.it you will find a specialised collection of artisanal 24mm straps, customisable with choice of leather, stitching and initials. All our straps are compatible with the IWC spring bar attachment system.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, cordovan) typically lasts 3-5 years with moderate daily wear, or 5-8 years with occasional use. Longevity depends on exposure to perspiration, humidity and frequency of wear. Artisanal straps from Casati Milano carry an 18-month warranty and can be restored or resewn if the structure remains intact.
