This leather has a beautiful smooth grain with a beautiful depth to the leather colour and will have an amazing patina as it ages. It is dyed completely through and has a nice soft flesh side. This vegetable-tanned leather has a great feel in the hand and it is easy to cut and skive.

Full Grain Leather (Renowned Tanneries)

We source our leather exclusively from esteemed tanneries in France, Japan, and Italy, renowned for their mastery in producing top-grade full-grain leather. Full-grain leather is the pinnacle of leather quality, known for its durability, natural beauty, and unique character. Unlike lesser grades of leather, full-grain retains the original texture and imperfections of the hide, which only adds to its charm. It's exceptionally resilient, developing a rich patina over time that tells the story of your strap's journey. It offers unmatched comfort and resilience, assuring your strap remains impeccable for years. Our commitment is to provide you with the finest, most comfortable, and durable leather straps available.

Lining (ChahinLeather® Lining)

ChahinLeather®, a family-owned tannery established by Angel Chahin Sr. in 1932, embodies enduring traditions and values passed down through three generations. Over eight decades, their expertise, acquired skills, and knowledge have become an invaluable heritage.

Though technology has advanced, their commitment to artisanal leather-making remains unchanged. Their meticulous 40-day vegetable tanning process, using premium hides and natural tannins, results in leather that ages beautifully, developing a unique patina over time. With proper care, products made from ChahinLeather® can last a lifetime.

Using Chahin Leather as lining offers durability, a beautiful aging process, and precise craftsmanship. It enhances product quality, develops a unique patina over time, and ensures a comfortable fit. This makes it an excellent choice for a watch strap lining.

Buckle (316L Stainless Steel Buckle)

This specific grade of stainless steel is renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring that your strap's buckle remains pristine even in challenging environments. It's also highly durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of daily wear and various weather conditions.

Beyond its resilience, 316L stainless steel exudes a timeless elegance. Its finishing lends a touch of sophistication to your strap, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Moreover, it's hypoallergenic, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

We believe that every component of your strap should embody the same level of quality and craftsmanship as the leather itself – hence why we opt for 316L stainless steel buckles, as they exemplify our dedication to creating leather straps that are not only beautiful but also built to last. Your strap's buckle is more than just a fastening mechanism; it's a statement of enduring quality and style.

What you'll get with every purchase:

Free Microsuede Cloth (U.P.S$6) to wipe away built up grimes, stains & dirt and a Free Basic Springbar Removal Tool (U.P.S$4) to aid with the changing of straps.
