The QUBZI Edit / Craft & Materials
Three leather watch straps are grouped here by what each looks like in its catalog photographs and product videos. Start with the surface, the stitching and the buckle. Then check the width.
Deep blue-black, fine grain
The 20mm black sheepskin strap reads deep blue-black in the photograph, with adjustment holes and a silver-toned buckle across the two pieces.
The listing describes sheepskin with a semi-gloss finish, 20mm at the lug end tapering to 18mm at the buckle, and seven holes. Its long piece is 115mm and its short piece 75mm.
Light grain, brown-toned in view
Brown-toned and finely grained, the long and short pieces of the 18mm Elephant Grey Epsom strap sit side by side in the photograph.
The listing names Elephant Grey and a pebbled palm grain leather, 18mm at the watch attachment point and narrowing toward the tip. It gives no length, taper figure or hole count.
Coarse grain and light stitching
Markedly coarser, the 22mm black top-grain leather strap is shown as two black pieces in hand, edge stitching visible.
The listing gives 22mm at the lug end and 20mm at the buckle, and five holes.
Check the lug width once
Compare the width you can confirm for your watch with the 18, 20 or 22mm figure on each page. A matching width does not settle the fit: length, hole count and the specific connection requirement still need checking, and the 18mm page leaves several of those blank. Where the page is silent, ask before you fit anything.
