At WatchGecko we pride ourselves on our ever-growing catalogue of high quality, versatile, replacement watch straps. We’re always keen to ensure our catalogue remains up to date with styles that keep up with not only trends but customer needs.
Our Simple Handmade Strap has been a staple for us within our leather strap range for a long time now. Consistently praised by customers for its timelessly simplistic quality, it’s not hard to see why the Simple Handmade Strap has maintained its popularity as other straps have come and gone from our catalogue.
Inspired by the success of straps such as the Highley, which has now evolved into two slimmer designs (the Classic Highley and the Flat Highley), we felt the Simple Handmade Strap deserved some attention too.
In that spirit, allow us to introduce the Classic Simple Handmade…

The ‘Classic’ Simple Handmade is the latest evolution of our popular Simple Handmade strap. Now offered with reduced padding for a slimmer final look, the ‘Classic’ version maintains its revered timeless simplicity but now has reduced thickness at the lug end. This makes it a great match for pairing with slim dress and vintage watches, which commonly feature smaller case dimensions.
The Classic has been carefully redesigned to be just 3.5mm thick (at the lug end). A smaller buckle has also been incorporated to ensure the final look still feels well-proportioned.

Extremely versatile with simple double stitching that promises not to distract from the quality of the leather, or from your timepiece, the Classic is a great option for anybody looking for a slimmer leather replacement strap that suits a wide range of watches.

Much like its predecessor, the Classic is equipped with quick-release spring bars meaning strap changes can be made easily and without fuss. If you’re unsure how they work, feel free to take a look at our step-by-step guide, we promise it’s extremely easy.

The Classic is available in a range of simple shades that are bound to work with any outfit and each strap is made from certified vegetable-tanned, full-grain Italian leather. Meticulously crafted using centuries-old techniques in Tuscany’s most renowned tanneries, these straps develop patina over time and will only look better with age.
