Hi there,
It was my birthday last Saturday and one of the presents was a new strap for my Spitfire UTC! Here are some pictures of the new combination, I am personally very pleased with it.

Me Like ! Is that the IWC OEM spitfire strap from a couple of years ago or a after market?
Thank you all and Andy, it's an IWC OEM strap indeed. It's a tad darker than I expected but it's looking great indeed!
I now have this OEM brown croco, an aftermarked black croco (thanks again to Norbert) and an aftermarket brown buffalo strap for this watch. I think that's enough for now, unless I want to go put something like a NATO strap on it.

Happy Birthday again Clemens - I have a weakness for the black dial, ?green-ish numerals version. In my opinion the 24-hour wheel UTC still makes for the most convenient GMT watch. Enjoy your lovely piece !

Hello Juju,
I have tried that on my St Ex Chrono but it didn't feel comfortable with the regular type of strap. I guess it's the same for the Spitfire UTC so I just stick to the pin buckle.
