Introducing the Classic Simple Handmade Italian Leather strap, a refreshed and slimmer version of our popular Simple Handmade strap. Maintaining its timeless simplicity, but now with reduced thickness at the lug end, the Classic Simple Handmade is most suitable for pairing with slim dress and vintage watches which typically feature smaller case dimensions.
Just 3.5mm thick (at the lug end), the Classic has been redesigned with a smaller buckle to ensure the final look is well-proportioned.
With simple double stitching that won’t distract from the quality of the leather, or from the watch itself, the Classic is extremely versatile and an ideal choice for anybody looking for a high-quality leather replacement strap that suits a wide range of watch models.
Furthermore, the Classic Simple Handmade incorporates quick-release spring bars to ensure strap changes can be made effortlessly. If you needed to remove the quick-release spring bars then you can learn how to easily remove quick-release spring bars in our video.
This strap uses certified vegetable-tanned, full-grain Italian leather produced by a member of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata Al Vegetale. This consortium of tanneries in Tuscany exclusively uses natural plant-derived tannins and centuries-old techniques to create quality controlled sustainable leathers. As a result, this strap will continue to develop patina and only get better as it wears in and begins to age. We guarantee that we use certified leathers from these certified responsible Italian tanneries.
