Materials & Build
This strap uses genuine calf leather embossed with a precise crocodile texture. The 316L stainless steel deployment clasp features a dual-push button release for added security and ease of use. By using a deployment system, the leather remains flat and avoids the cracking often seen with traditional tang buckles. The edges are finished with tonal stitching to maintain a clean, streamlined profile that matches the thickness of most mid-sized watch cases. Over time, the leather will develop a unique patina and soften to the shape of your arm.

FAQ
How do I break in the leather?
Genuine leather starts slightly stiff but softens as it reacts to the heat and movement of your wrist. You can expect the band to conform to your shape within 2 to 3 days of regular wear. This process creates a custom fit that improves the more you wear it.
Is this band water-resistant?
While the leather can handle light splashes during hand washing, it is not designed for swimming or showering. To preserve the crocodile texture and the integrity of the leather, we recommend keeping the strap dry and using a leather conditioner every few months to maintain suppleness.
How does the deployment clasp work?
The clasp attaches to both ends of the strap and unfolds like a hinge. Once sized to your wrist using the adjustment holes, you simply snap it shut. This prevents the leather from being pulled through a buckle daily, which significantly reduces mechanical wear and tear on the strap material.
Will this fit my smartwatch?
Yes, as long as your smartwatch uses standard straight spring bars. Many popular models use 20mm or 22mm widths. This strap provides a more traditional look for digital timepieces, making them suitable for office environments or formal occasions where a silicone band might feel too casual.
