FAQs

Are these IWC straps and clasps genuine OEM products?

Yes. Every item in the IWC collection is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) product — made to IWC's exact specifications by or for the brand itself. These are not aftermarket reproductions or third-party alternatives. As verified by a customer review: "The IWC clasp fits perfectly on my watch, superb quality and in perfect condition!"

Which IWC watch models do these straps fit?

All three leather and suede straps in the IWC collection are designed specifically to fit all IWC Big Pilot model watches. They are not cross-compatible with other IWC lines such as the Portugieser, Pilot's Watch Mark series, or Aquatimer without first verifying lug width. Always confirm your model's lug width before ordering.

What is the strap length and will it fit my wrist?

All IWC Big Pilot straps in this collection have a standard length of 145MM (long side) / 55MM (short side), totaling 200MM of wearable length (unless otherwise stated). This is the manufacturer's standard sizing for the Big Pilot and fits most wrist sizes. If you have an unusually small or large wrist, verify this measurement before purchasing.

What is the difference between the suede and calf leather straps?

Both are genuine leather OEM straps for the IWC Big Pilot, but they differ in texture and feel. The suede straps (available in Brown and Tan) have a soft, napped finish that gives a more casual and vintage aesthetic. The calf leather strap has a smooth, structured surface that reads more formal and refined. Both are designed for use with a deployant clasp, not a tang buckle.

Do these straps come with a buckle or clasp included?

No — the IWC leather and suede straps are sold as strap-only. They are designed for use with a deployant clasp, which is sold separately in the same collection. If you need a complete setup, purchase the IWC 18MM Stainless Steel Deployant Clasp alongside your strap of choice.

What size deployant clasp do I need for the IWC Big Pilot straps?

The IWC Big Pilot straps in this collection have an 18MM clasp end (the shorter tail that attaches to the buckle), which means you need the 18MM IWC Stainless Steel Deployant Clasp listed in this collection. The lug end — where the strap attaches to the watch case — is 22MM.

Will the IWC deployant clasp work with straps I already own?

The IWC 18MM Stainless Steel Deployant Clasp is designed for 18MM strap ends. If your existing IWC strap has an 18MM buckle end, it should be compatible. However, fit and finish are best guaranteed when pairing this clasp with the OEM IWC straps sold in this collection, as they are made to the same manufacturer specifications.

What does the "22/18MM" measurement in the product title mean?

The two numbers refer to the two widths of the strap: 22MM is the lug width — the wider end that attaches to the watch case between the lugs — and 18MM is the buckle/clasp end — the narrower tail that connects to the deployant clasp. This tapered design is standard for most pilot-style and dress watch straps.

Why is the collection described as "Alligator" but the products list suede and calf leather?

The collection page headline references IWC Alligator Watch Straps, which is the broader category name used to describe premium leather accessories for IWC watches on this store. The current in-stock products are suede and calf leather — both genuine OEM IWC materials. Alligator leather variants may have been previously stocked or are being sourced. Contact the store directly if you are specifically looking for an alligator strap.

What is the return policy if the strap or clasp doesn't fit my watch?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery, provided the item is unused, unworn, in its original condition, and accompanied by proof of purchase. Contact the store before sending anything back (via Text message or Direct Message) — items returned without prior approval will not be accepted. A pre-paid return labels will be emailed to our client and once the return is inspected and approved, a refund is issued to the original payment method within 10 business days.
