IWC Straps and Bracelets

Selected Portofino models are available with Milanaise mesh bracelets in an elegant sixties-­inspired style. They perfectly embody the Italian lifestyle. Milanaise mesh bracelets are made of a fine wire mesh weave and, as well as being extremely robust, fit snugly around the wrist. 

The alligator leather and calfskin straps made exclusively for IWC by Italian shoe manufacturer Santoni are among the finest work of their artisan craftsmen. One of the secrets of Santoni’s success is the nuanced shading of the leather. Elaborately finished by hand, every strap comes with an exclusive patina-like shimmer with its own individual colour tones. The technique makes leather look as if it had already been lovingly cared for over a period of several years despite the fact that it is brand new. To achieve this effect, the surface of the leather is polished with a variety of different pastes until it has the desired shading and a perfect sheen. Another hallmark Santoni accessories feature is the orange lining on the inner surface of the strap.

The patented IWC bracelet quick-change system for the Aquatimer collection makes changing from a steel bracelet to a rubber strap or vice versa quick and simple. The bracelet is pushed into the locking bar from the top and engages audibly. To release, press the lever on the underside of the bracelet outwards with your thumb and push the bracelet upwards.
