Materials & Build
We use genuine calf leather selected for its grain and long-term durability. The strap features a thickness of approximately 3.0mm, providing a substantial feel without being bulky or stiff. Each band is finished with reinforced perimeter stitching and a 316L stainless steel buckle that resists corrosion. The quick-release pins are made from hardened steel to ensure they remain seated during active movement, while the natural leather allows your skin to breathe throughout the day.

The strap tapers slightly toward the buckle for a more comfortable fit, typically reducing by 2mm from the lug width. If you are between sizes, the multiple adjustment holes ensure you can find a snug fit that stays in place.

FAQ
Does this strap require tools to install?
No, this band features a quick-release mechanism. You simply slide the small lever on the underside of the strap with your fingernail to retract the pin and snap it into your watch lugs. It takes seconds and requires no specialized equipment.
How do I care for the calf leather?
Leather is a natural material that benefits from occasional care. Avoid submerging it in water. If it gets wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth. You can apply a small amount of leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Will it be stiff when I first put it on?
Genuine calf leather has a brief break-in period. While it is soft out of the box, it will become significantly more flexible after 3 to 5 days of consistent wear as it shapes to the specific curve of your wrist.
Is the buckle interchangeable?
Yes, the buckle is held in place by a standard spring bar. If you have a specific buckle you prefer, you can swap it out easily using a basic spring bar tool or by following a guide.
