Need help finding a deployant for these iWC straps
So I have a few Santoni straps. The new design with the very short end at 6, I am planning on using them on other watches such as the double split and a few Vacherons.
What would you recommend as a suitable solution for the deployant? I would prefer a non IWC branded option as it would be weird to have an IWC logo opposite Lange for instance.
I am absolutely in love with the quality of the straps, it’s just the weird deployant specification that’s annoying me.
Thanks for any advice

Thank you for the lead!
So as I understand it IWC makes two deployant and straps are made for different lengths based on the deployant model. For the shorter at 6 straps, do we know which model to source? Again, many thanks for your assistance

My strap is the regular version
Not the big pilot strap, so thickness is different if it matters ...
As IWC said, strap length matters.. and tapered width matters…
From what I recall, the straps for the big pilot are 22mm at lugs and 18mm at deployant buckle. So you may need to consider the buckle width if the strap too if it’s non big pilot I believe non big pilots have lug widths of 21mm, but not sure what width i...
18 mm at the buckle is standard on this type of deployant regardless of type of strap
