How an automatic watch works
Your wrist gives it energy. A spring saves it. A tiny balance sets the rhythm. Follow the journey inside an automatic watch, one pencil drawing at a time.
IWC Schaffhausen · Ingenieur
Ref. IW381802
The IWC Schaffhausen Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month Titanium / Slate takes a 22 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 36 straps in that width. With a 45 mm case and 120 m of water resistance, a thicker strap balances the case. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
Width is a starting point. Check the case and end fittings before choosing.
