Strap for Portuguese Chrono-Automatic Yellow Gold / Silver

The IWC Portugieser IW3714-16 uses a lug width of 20 millimeters. To verify, measure the distance between the two inner pins of the case (the lugs that support the strap). This measurement is essential to ensure proper strap insertion into the case attachments.

Alligator in brown or cognac tones is the noblest solution and visually coherent with the yellow gold case. Vegetable-tanned calf leather represents an ecological alternative that develops a beautiful patina over time. Shell cordovan offers natural water resistance and a sophisticated bordeaux color. We do not recommend synthetic materials on this prestigious timepiece.

You will need a spring bar tool. Position the tool on one side of the inner lug of the case, press gently and push the strap toward the center of the case. The pin will retract, freeing the strap. Repeat on the other side. To install the new strap, align the pins with the attachments and insert until you hear a click.

Yes, all straps with a 20mm lug width are compatible with the IW3714-16. Always verify the exact measurement (20mm inner-to-inner) before ordering. High-quality artisanal straps, such as those produced by Casati Milano or available on MilanoStraps, are specifically designed to guarantee construction quality equivalent to the watch.

A high-quality leather strap (alligator, calf, shell cordovan) typically lasts 2-4 years with daily use, varying based on tanning quality, sun exposure, and perspiration. Vegetable tanning tends to age visually better, developing a fascinating patina. Straps handcrafted by Casati Milano include an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
