Why choose Milanese mesh

Milanese mesh is a finely woven steel band. It drapes around the wrist more softly than a link bracelet and lets air through, so it stays comfortable in warm weather. The 316L steel resists corrosion, and the polished silver finish suits dress watches such as the Portofino and Portugieser as well as the larger Big Pilot. If you prefer a solid link design, see our stainless steel bracelet for IWC.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth and cover the lugs with low-tack tape to protect the case.
2. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar and lift the old strap or bracelet out of the lugs.
3. Fit the spring bars into the new bracelet, seat one end in a lug hole, compress the other end and let it click into place.
4. Tug gently on each side to check that both spring bars are locked in.

Only the bracelet is changed. There is no need to open the case back, and you should never do so to fit a bracelet.

To adjust the length, use the fine adjustment on the clasp: release the pin or move the small slider with a spring bar tool and try it on until the fit is right.
