- Ethically sourced Alligator leather form special farms (I don't use leather sourced in wild nature). Country of origin is Italy
- Hypoallergenic vegetable tanned leather lining*
- Quick release spring bars. No special tools or skills are required to change the straps.
- Curved strap for a comfortable fit and minimizes leather wrinkles on the inside of the lining.
(It wasn't bent from a flat strap. It is always of this shape, because it was sewn not in a plane, but with such a bend)
- Hand-stitched with linen thread (French style sewn)
- Padded with a few layers of leather inside
- Anti-stretch material inside. Since the anti-stretching material is very thin (only 0.1 mm) we use this also for keepers and attachment points.**
- Consists of 4 layers - lining, anti-stretch material, leather padding, alligator leather
- Fits for wrist size 16 to 20 cm (6.3-8 inches). If your wrist is 15-16 cm (6.3-6.5 inches) in girth, then let me know, I will make a slightly shortened strap for you. ***
- Edges are polished and painted with 3 layers of a special reliable paint
- Stainless steel deployant buckle and a regular tongue pin buckle included. (I can put any buckle you ask on the strap, but deployant by default)
- Thickness: 3.5-4.5 mm at lug and tapered to 2-2.5mm towards the tail
- 100% handmade. Strap production time is about 6-8 working hours****
- Comes in a black branded gift box

The watch strap width sizes:
26, 24, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 14, 12 mm
Tapered or straight up to your needs.

*We don't use Zermatt lining because it's like polyurethane material, but we love the real leather feeling. You really need Zermatt lining if you have a strong allergy on everything natural or you have extra high sweating all time.

**Anti-stretch material is a modern high-tech material with a thickness of only 0.1 mm. This equals the thickness of a hair or printer paper. But tearing this material is very difficult even with two hands. This material was invented and used by Hermes brand for their products. We use the same.


*** The average man's hand is 18 centimeters + - 1 cm. In the cold season the strap is tighten more tightly. And in warm - you need to relax it. So the adjustment range reaches 2-3 holes during the year. And there should be a few spare holes for aesthetics.

****You may be wondering why a strap is so expensive when leather consumption is only a few inches? The reason is that the production of the strap takes about 8 hours of work. Moreover, it is very painstaking. If the stitch on the bag moves to the side by 1mm, it will not be visible. But in working on a strap there is no room for error.


Alligator pattern may differ from the photo because this is natural material and never can be the same on each product.
