Strap for Da Vinci Perpetual White Gold / Diamond / Paved / English

The lug width of the Da Vinci IW9253-15 is 19mm. To verify, use a digital calliper and measure the internal distance between the two contact points of the lug on the case. This width ensures compatibility with a broad range of 19mm aftermarket straps available in the market.

Natural or honeyed alligator is the ideal choice to maintain aesthetic coherence with the white gold case, as it does not tonally compete with the precious metal. Alternatively, vintage calf leather with vegetable tanning develops a harmonious patina over time, creating a sophisticated visual interplay between the luminosity of gold and the leather's natural evolution.

Remove the current deployant clasp or buckle by gently unscrewing it from the lug shoulders (where they engage). Extract the old strap by applying light downward pressure to disengage the lugs from the case ears. Insert the new 19mm strap, aligning the lug shoulders with the case seats, then reinsert and secure the clasp. If inexperienced, entrust the operation to a qualified watchmaker to avoid damage to the white gold case.

Absolutely. Any 19mm strap with solid construction is compatible with the lugs of the IW9253-15. MilanoStraps offers a specialised collection of 19mm straps crafted from premium materials (alligator, calf, rubber), all tested for dimensional tolerance and construction solidity. An 18-month warranty covers manufacturing defects.

A premium leather strap (alligator, vegetable-tanned calf) typically lasts 3–5 years with daily wear, depending on frequency of use, climate, and maintenance. Vegetable tanning ages elegantly, developing patina that narrates its history of use. Exposure to perspiration, salt water, and UV rays accelerates wear; regular fresh-water rinses and prompt drying significantly extend useful life.
