Selected leathers
For a Pilot Mark XVIII or a Big Pilot, the choice of strap is not about aesthetics—it's about character. The black Novonappa has just the right texture: soft enough to conform to the wrist in a few hours, structured enough not to lose shape over time. It's a leather that doesn't announce itself; it reveals itself.
Military style is not a fashion aesthetic. It's a constructive logic: robust stitching, a slim profile, nothing superfluous. This strap follows that logic without compromise. The matte black of the Novonappa absorbs light instead of reflecting it—a sought-after discretion, not a suffered one.
Made in Italy, it naturally pairs with IWC pilot watches but fits any case with standard lugs. Color variations between one piece and another are characteristic of the material: each leather has its own story even before it reaches the wrist.

It softens to your wrist.
It starts firm and, week after week, takes the shape of your wrist. The surface grows warmer to the touch, the colour gains depth where the light hits it. No plastic on top: leather that ages honestly.

What sizes are available?
You can find this strap in two lug widths: 20mm x 18mm and 21mm x 18mm. Choose according to your watch.
Does it fit an IWC Pilot?
Yes, it is designed for a Pilot Mark XVIII or a Big Pilot. However, the standard lugs also make it suitable for other cases with the same fitting.
How does it behave over time?
The black Novonappa softens within a few hours of wear, but retains its structure. It does not lose its shape.
Is the colour uniform across all pieces?
No. Colour variations from one piece to another are part of the material. Each hide has its own story.
Can I get it wet?
Yes, you can get it wet without any issue. It is made from Newlife® recycled polyester, obtained from recycled plastic bottles, with a Made in Italy supply chain.
