Modular Design: You can remove the backing pad to wear the strap as a traditional two-piece leather band.
Materials & Build
We use genuine cowhide leather selected for its ability to develop a unique patina through daily wear. The strap features a 2.5mm thickness for the band and a 1.5mm thick backing pad. All hardware, including the buckle and decorative rivets, is brushed 316L stainless steel. The edges are finished with a protective coating to prevent fraying and moisture absorption during daily use.

FAQ
Does the pad come off?
Yes, the Leather Rivet Bund Strap is a modular three-piece design. You can slide the two-piece strap out of the backing pad if you want to wear it as a standard leather strap. This gives you two different looks with a single purchase.
Will this fit a smartwatch?
It works with any smartwatch that uses standard 20mm or 22mm spring bars. This includes many Samsung Galaxy Watch models. However, please be aware that the leather backing pad will block heart rate sensors and charging ports located on the back of the watch case.
How do I care for the leather?
Keep the strap dry whenever possible. If it gets wet, let it air dry away from direct heat sources. We recommend using a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and enhance the natural patina process that occurs with wear.
Is there a break-in period?
Like all genuine leather products, this strap starts slightly stiff. After a few days of continuous wear, the leather softens and molds to the specific contours of your wrist. This results in a custom fit that becomes more comfortable over time.
