Men's Watch with Leather Strap

Recognising quality watch strap leather

Not all leathers are equal. Full-grain leather (the top layer of the hide, the noblest) offers the best resistance and an elegant patina over time. Calf leather is supple and comfortable, grained leather resists daily marks better. Conversely, reconstituted leather (agglomerated fibres) cracks more quickly. A good quality indicator: flexibility when bent and edge finishing (a painted and smoothed edge marks a carefully made strap). All our product sheets specify the type of leather in their characteristics.

Caring for a men's leather watch strap

Leather fears two things: water and prolonged perspiration, which harden it, warp it and can cause it to crack. Avoid wearing your leather watch in the shower or in high heat conditions. Clean the strap with a dry cloth, and for smooth leather, a nourishing cream specifically designed for leather every few months preserves its suppleness. A leather strap is a wear item: it is easily replaced after several years, which also allows you to refresh the watch's style.

Choosing your men's leather watch style

For formal wear, smooth black or brown leather on a slim case is timeless. For versatile daily use, grained leather on a 42 to 44 mm case works everywhere. Vintage style enthusiasts will turn to cognac patinated leather or a leather NATO type strap. Brown leather warms light and gold dials, black structures dark and silver dials.
