The Stanton padded strap collection features a variety of premium Minerva Box leather and suede leather watch straps. The Minerva Box leather straps use vegetable-tanned calf leather from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in Italy, producing an incredibly smooth and supple strap.
The Stanton padded suede leather straps use genuine Italian suede leather from the Opera tannery in Tuscany. This suede leather is wonderfully tactile and is a timeless choice for those looking to dress down their watch while maintaining a premium look. Our line of Stanton padded leather straps takes on a classic padded strap design, with a contrasting edge stitching that will suit a wide variety of watches, particularly dress watches. The Stanton padded strap includes a stainless-steel buckle and quick-release spring bars so you can swap between straps tool-free.
The Stanton suede straps are made from genuine Italian suede leather from Opera, an Italian tannery in the heart of Tuscany that has been operating for more than three decades. They’re one of the best tanneries in the world and as a result, the strap is soft and pliable from the outset.
