A closer look
This watch strap is a two-piece assembly featuring a genuine black crocodile leather top surface with a distinct, natural scale pattern. The leather exhibits a semi-gloss finish that highlights the texture of the scales, which vary in size and shape across the strap's length. The strap is constructed with a double-layer design, where the top crocodile leather is bonded to a bottom lining of Italian cowhide. The overall style is classic and luxurious, with a focus on the natural characteristics of the exotic leather. The strap includes a polished, gold-toned metal buckle with a classic pin-and-tang closure mechanism. The buckle is attached to the shorter strap piece, which also features two fixed leather keepers to secure the tail of the longer strap.
The strap's dimensions are specified as follows: the lug width is 16mm, tapering to a 14mm buckle width. The longer strap piece measures approximately 123mm in length, while the shorter piece with the buckle is approximately 75mm long. The strap's thickness is not uniform; it is designed to be thicker at the lug ends and tapers to approximately 2.8mm at the third adjustment hole. The strap is pre-curved for ergonomic comfort. The construction features hand-stitching along the edges, visible as a consistent, dense pattern of black thread that secures the layers. The edges are finished with a natural edge-sealing technique using a sealing liquid, rather than a painted edge, which is noted for its durability. The strap includes seven adjustment holes on the longer piece, punched cleanly through the leather.
The material composition is explicitly stated as genuine black crocodile leather for the top surface and Italian cowhide for the lining. The strap is handmade, which may result in minor, natural variations and imperfections in the leather and stitching, considered part of its artisanal character. The surface texture of the crocodile leather is organic, with visible pores and natural grain variations. The color is a deep, solid black, though the natural leather may show subtle tonal variations under different lighting conditions. The strap is designed for compatibility with watch cases that have a 16mm lug width, with a note that the lug end width may vary slightly due to the natural characteristics of the leather. The strap is intended to be worn initially with a slightly loose fit to allow the leather to break in and conform to the wrist over time.
