Materials & Build
This strap uses genuine cowhide leather with a thickness of 2.5mm for the main band. The bund pad measures 45mm at its widest point, providing a stable base for larger watch heads. We use reinforced stitching along the edges to maintain structural integrity, and the hardware is made from 316L stainless steel with a silver finish to resist corrosion and maintain its appearance over years of use.

FAQ
Does the leather require a break-in period?
Genuine leather starts firm but softens and molds to your wrist within a few days of consistent wear. This natural process ensures the strap becomes more comfortable over time as it adapts to your specific anatomy and movement patterns.
Can I wear this without the leather pad?
Yes, the strap slides through the loops on the bund pad. You can remove the pad entirely to use the item as a standard 24mm leather strap for a more low-profile look when the full cuff aesthetic isn't required.
Is this strap waterproof?
Leather naturally absorbs moisture, so we recommend removing it before swimming or showering. If it gets wet from rain or sweat, let it air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the leather's structural integrity and prevent cracking.
Will the 24mm width fit my 22mm watch?
No, this strap is specifically cut for 24mm lugs. Using a strap that is too wide will cause the leather to pinch at the lugs, which looks messy and causes the material to wear out prematurely at the spring bar points.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or salt buildup. For deeper maintenance, use a dedicated leather cleaner and follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and enhance the patina over time.
