PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This medium grey sits halfway between charcoal and stone. The Grey Saffiano leather side-stitch watch strap goes with black, grey, silver and blue dials, and steel or titanium cases. Grey stitches at the lug ends sit almost invisibly against the leather.

Our Side-Stitch style has no thread running down the edges. Only the lug ends carry a short anchoring stitch, which keeps the shape of the strap neat and simple. It is 2.5mm thick where it meets the case and tapers to 1.8mm, so it suits modern dress watches and minimal everyday designs.

A silver buckle blends in with the grey, while a black buckle gives it a darker, more modern finish.

Saffiano Leather

Saffiano Calfskin

Hard-wearing, with minimal care.

Our Saffiano calfskin comes from Superior in Italy. A fine crosshatch is pressed into the surface, giving it a sharp, modern look that is easy to look after. It suits daily wear and travel particularly well.

  • Feel: firm and structured, holding its shape from day one
  • Surface: the crosshatch texture can make light marks less noticeable
  • Daily wear: perspiration and light rain, wiped off promptly, caused little colour change in our tests
  • Over time: held its colour in our tests; the crosshatch stays visually defined

Each hide is checked by hand at our Da Nang workshop for consistent grain and colour before cutting. The water, perspiration and colour notes above come from our tests on finished straps.

Strap Construction

Four-Layer Construction

A refined strap begins beneath the surface.

  1. Outer leather

    The grain and colour you see, checked by hand.

  2. Reinforcement layer

    Holds the strap’s shape and limits stretching.

  3. Reinforced ends

    Extra strength at the spring bars.

  4. Zermatt lining

    Soft calfskin from Tanneries Haas.

Multi-coat edge finish. Edges are sanded, sealed and painted, or folded on folded-edge straps.
