What length do I need?
Measure your wrist with a tailor's tape or a piece of string, comfortably snug.

|---|---|
| 15.0–16.4 cm | 120 / 70 mm |
| 16.5–17.8 cm | 125 / 75 mm |
| 17.9–19.0 cm | 130 / 80 mm |

The ready-to-wear strap is 115 × 75 mm. For a smaller or larger wrist I make it in the right length: order your length.
What I'm asked about the IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02
What strap size does the IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02 take?
The IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02 needs 14 mm between the lugs. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02 be changed?
Yes. It has spring bars between the lugs: with the right tool the strap comes off in a minute. If you'd rather not risk a scratch, I do it in the workshop.
Can I put a leather strap on the IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02?
Yes, in 14 mm leather. On a 40 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.
Which strap do you recommend for the IWC Ingenieur IW3289-02?
A 14 mm calf strap, for every day. I don't keep this size ready in the catalogue: I make it to measure. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
