Why choose woven leather

The braided weave gives the strap a texture that a smooth strap does not have, and the small gaps let air through, so it feels cooler in warm weather. It works well with smart-casual clothes such as linen or knitwear, and adds interest next to a clean dial like the Portugieser. If you prefer a smooth surface, compare our genuine leather strap for IWC.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth so the case and crystal are protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar at each lug and remove the current strap.
3. Seat a spring bar in each end of the new strap, place one tip in the lug hole, compress the other tip and let it click into place.
4. Pull gently on both sides to check it is locked in. Never open the case back: the strap attaches only at the lugs.
