WidthLug → buckle · mm
Lug width is the inside gap between your watch’s lugs and must match it. We make any width, for example 19.5. Buckle width is the narrow end, an even number from 10 to 24 mm, never wider than the lug width.
Buckle width cannot be wider than lug width.
LengthLong → short · mm
The long end must be at least as long as the short end.
Thread colorOptional
Keep the thread in the product photos, match it to the leather, choose cream for contrast, or pick another color. Not shown for Stitchless straps.

Curved endOptional
A curved end finishes the strap end in a gentle curve (+$10). It’s a style detail: it isn’t made to match your watch case exactly, so a gap may remain.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This taupe is a soft grey-brown that leans slightly olive. On the Taupe Saffiano Hybrid Rally Pilot watch strap, taupe stitching runs along both edges and keeps the outline quiet, so the perforations stand out. It pairs with black, white, grey and cream dials, and with steel or bronze cases.
The Hybrid Rally Pilot style has three large round holes near the lugs, flanked by smaller holes, as a nod to vintage racing and pilot straps. Thickness runs from 2.5mm at the lugs to 1.8mm at the tail. The style suits chronographs and pilot watches, and casual three-hand watches too.
It is photographed on the wrist with an Omega Speedmaster Professional. A silver buckle keeps the taupe cool and understated, and a black buckle suits a black-dialled chronograph.
