Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual White Gold / White / German / Bracelet

The IW9252-05 features a 19mm lug width, a specific dimension that distinguishes it within the Da Vinci collection. To verify this measurement, measure internally from one lug to the other: the value must be exactly 19mm. It is essential to confirm this measurement before ordering an aftermarket strap to ensure a perfect fit.

For a white gold watch like the IW9252-05, genuine alligator represents the most refined choice: its regular grain and natural texture create an ideal aesthetic dialogue with the precious metal. Shell cordovan offers unique character with patina that improves over time. For versatility, vegetable-tanned calf leather is excellent, whilst rubber and technical fabrics represent informal options without compromising quality.

Strap replacement is accomplished through the spring bar mechanism integrated into the lug. Using a dedicated spring bar removal tool, apply gentle pressure to extract the spring bar, then remove the previous strap. Align the tool with the side slots on the new strap and push until you hear the locking click. If you prefer professional assistance, the Casati Milano atelier provides this service by appointment.

Any strap specifically designed for 19mm lugs is compatible with the IW9252-05. Milano Straps offers a specialised collection of 19mm straps in various materials: alligator, calf leather, shell cordovan and technical options. Always verify the lug width of your product before purchase. The Casati Milano atelier personalises straps bespoke according to your preferences for leather type, colour and stitching.

The longevity of a leather strap depends on material quality, frequency of use and maintenance. Artisanal-grade alligator or shell cordovan, such as those from Milano Straps, maintains functionality and aesthetics for 5-7 years of regular wear. Vegetable-tanned leather offers greater durability over time, especially with periodic maintenance. All Casati Milano straps include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. The determining factor is care: avoid prolonged contact with water and humidity, and condition the leather periodically with specialist products.
