Olmo Minerva Leather Strap

Our Smooth Minerva Box (Italian Calf) is a vegetable-tanned leather from Badalassi Carlo in Tuscany, Italy.

Tannery: Badalassi Carlo, Italy
Temper: Soft Firm
Surface: Smooth
Patina: High
Water Resistance: Low. To ensure longevity, avoid moisture or soaking our straps in water.

As our straps are handcrafted with natural leather, each strap will be unique and may have slight variations to the product photo.

This Olmo Minerva Calf leather is incredibly soft and comfortable. It is a very versatile strap that would pair well with either a diver or a dress watch. Please note that the Olmo leather begins as an orange colour and overtime develops into a rich cognac colour.

All of our watch straps are entirely handmade one by one, utilising traditional leather crafting techniques. They are cut, saddle stitched and edge painted by hand to ensure that your strap lasts you a lifetime. All of our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a hypoallergenic and water-resistant french calf leather.

For an approximate wrist size guide:
1. Extra small 95mm/65mm will fit a 5.0-5.5 inch wrist
2. Small sized 105mm/70mm will fit a 6.0-6.5 inch wrist
3. Standard size 115mm/75mm will fit a 6.5-7.5 inch wrist
4. Large size 125mm/80mm will fit a 7.5-8.0 inch wrist

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)

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.
