Sizing Guide

Sizing Guide

Which size should I pick for my watch?

The Lug width refers to the distance where the strap connects with the watch and the buckle width refers to the width of the strap required to fit in between the buckle.

Our strap sizes are displayed in the following format format: Lug Width/Buckle Width

For example, if the lug width of my watch is 19mm, and the buckle width is 16mm, the correct size I would need to select is 19mm/16mm 

How long should my strap be?

While everyone’s preference for their strap lengths may differ, we don’t like our straps to be too long. A good indicator of whether a strap is too long is if the tail of the strap is visible on your wrist.  

Method 1: Measuring Your Wrist Size

  

To measure your wrist size, use a thin piece of paper, measuring tape, masking tape or string. Wrap a piece of paper around your wrist and mark where it meets the other end of the paper. Lay this piece of paper down flat and measure the total length of paper. This is your wrist size. 

Method 2: Measuring an existing strap that fits 

One quick way of finding your strap length is to measure the length of a strap you currently have. Sum up the two lengths of the long and short sides of the strap (i.e 120mm and 80mm = 200mm)  If you feel the existing strap is too long or too short, adjust the length accordingly.

Our standard sizes 

Extra Small: 95mm/65mm fits a wrist size of 5.25 - 6.0 inches 
Small: 105mm/70mm fits a wrist size of 6 - 6.75 inches 
Standard: 115mm/75mm fits a wrist size of 6.5 inches to 7.2 inches
Large: 125mm/80mm fits a wrist size of 7.2 inches to 8.25 inches
Custom: We can accomodate custom lengths for made-to-order straps

Our Dark Brown Alligator comes from the famous French tannery HCP (Hermes Cuir Precuix), and they're known to produce one of the finest alligator leathers. Our dark brown alligator strap is perfect for those looking to dress up a watch. 

All our alligator leather hides are sourced from sustainable and ethical farms in the United States. 

  • Tannery: HCP, France
  • Temper: Soft-Medium
  • Surface: Smooth/Scaled
  • Patina: Will develop a subtle sheen as it gets worn in.
  • Water Resistance: Low. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.


The sizing is in the format as follows: (LUG WIDTH/BUCKLE WIDTH)

  • The lug width refers to the width of the strap at the lugs (where it connects to the watch).
  • The buckle width refers to the width of the strap at the buckle or clasp.

For the strap length:

  • Short: 105mm/70mm will suit a 145 mm - 167.5 mm wrist size. (5.7 - 6.7 inches)
  • Standard: 115mm/75mm will suit a 162.5mm - 182.5mm wrist size. (6.4 - 7.1 inches)
  • Long: 125mm/80mm will suit a 182.5 mm - 212.5 mm wrist size. (7.1 - 8.2 inches)

With our leather straps, we recommend avoiding any contact with water. This means to avoid showering, swimming or submerging the strap in water. While our leathers may have strong water resistance on the surface, water may seep through to the fibres of the strap through the stitching holes.

However, if your strap does get wet, we recommend allowing it to fully dry before applying a bees wax or mink oil based leather conditioner to replenish the lost oils. We also recommend applying a leather conditioner ever 6-12 months to prolong the lifespan of the strap.

Avoid contact with alcohol and solvents (think perfumes and colognes!) as this weakens the integrity of the edge finishing.

The Gold Standard for Leather Watch Straps

All of our watch straps are entirely handmade, utilising traditional leather crafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure your straps are durable and refined. All of our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a hypoallergenic and water-resistant french calf leather. As all our leathers are full-grain leathers, the natural characteristics of the leather will show and may vary across straps.
