The Rochefort Patina Calf straps are made from very durable yet supple calf leather, which has been carefully tanned with more oil than the average leather strap. The result gives you an incredibly soft and pliable strap while the tanning process provides the strap with an earthy patina for a well-aged look.
Each Rochefort Patina Calf leather watch strap is a unique and timeless piece that has been meticulously crafted by hand at a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. Their experienced craftsmen dedicate a great deal of time to creating each watch strap, never compromising on quality and always striving to offer the best possible leathers.

The box-edge stitching of the Rochefort Patina Calf strap has been expertly executed by hand using contrasting ivory-coloured thread and hand-painted with a colour stain to match the leather. This watch strap is available in various lug widths, and features a robust stainless-steel buckle with a highly polished finish.
The watch strap has a tapered width and is thinner at the buckle than the lug end as follows:
