Where to buy: genuine alligator strap for IWC deployment clasp?

Recommended Posts

VMSG

Hi,

Just got my IWC PORTUGUESE  CRONO and I'm looking for a genuine alligator strap that will work with the IWC deployment clasp (the alligator needs to be genuine, not an IWC genuine strap).

I've been looking in this forum and on the web a lot, but I'm not feel comfortable that what I found will fit the deployment clasp, so I will love to hear from more experienced members that own an alligator strap with deployment clasp.

Thanks!

Hey Mate

I was in a similar boat not too long ago. It depends on budget as there's plenty of options. I ended up going with a ZicZac strap that I was very happy with. Great value at $49 USD delivered!

This was the brief I sent him (along with some images attached)

"...I'm after a Santoni-style strap for my IWC 371446.
Blue croc strap with blue stitching. Maybe calf leather backside?
 
Dimensions
  • 20/18
  • 115/75
  • 2-2.5mm thickness (to fit deployment clasp)..."

For a more generous budget, my research indicated Jacob Straps is the Rolls Royce option!
