What I'm asked about the IWC Pilot IW3256-01
What strap size does the IWC Pilot IW3256-01 take?
The IWC Pilot IW3256-01 needs 16 mm between the lugs, usually 14 mm at the buckle. It's the size I've been fitting on it for years.
Can the strap on the IWC Pilot IW3256-01 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 IW3256-01?
Yes, in 16 mm leather. On a 34 mm case a calf strap works every day; if you want something more, alligator.
Which strap do you recommend for the IWC Pilot IW3256-01?
A 16 mm calf strap, for every day. You'll find it ready in the 16 mm collection. If you'd rather have something built on your wrist, the Casati atelier.
