What I'm asked about the IWC Pilot IW3253-02

What strap size does the IWC Pilot IW3253-02 take?

The IWC Pilot IW3253-02 needs 19 mm between the lugs, usually 16 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.

Can the strap on the IWC Pilot IW3253-02 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 Pilot IW3253-02?

Yes, in 19 mm leather. On a 38 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.

Which strap do you recommend for the IWC Pilot IW3253-02?

A 19 mm calf strap, for every day. You'll find it ready in the 19 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
