IWC Big Pilot 5004 straps

[Vwalasi 0]

Hello,

 

I was wondering where I can find NON-LEATHER straps for the IWC Big Pilot 5004. It can be nylon, rubber or even PU leather. I'm in love with the watch but I refuse to wear leather straps.

 

Thanks,

Vwalasi

What's wrong with leather straps?

Have a look at http://www.panatime.com/

Time Piece Republic do a nice kevlar strap for BP's. They sell on eBay.

Thanks a lot for this! Some really good NATO and synthetic straps on here, will probably find what I'm looking for.

 

 

What is wrong with leather straps?

 

"By far, most leather is sourced from cows. Leather production shares a common misconception with dairy: that it is incidental to the meat industry. In other words, it is often assumed that leather is a mere byproduct of meat and that purchasing and wearing leather does not contribute to a brutal industry and a profoundly immoral institution. This is a false assumption. Not only is leather highly profitable for the meat industry (as explained below), much of the leather sold worldwide comes from animals killed primarily for their skins."

Thanks, but the Kevlar straps still have leather on the backside.

Had to google that. Is canvas the same as nato, or am I missing something here?

 

 

I think some of the synthetic straps on Panatime are really nice, but I'm not sure if they will look good on the IWC BP.

 

Looking at this one now (won't let me post an actual picture):
