A LITTLE GUIDANCE

Make the right choice.

How do I choose the right size?
LUG WIDTHLONG SIDEBUCKLE SIDELENGTH
  1. Between the lugs.

    Measure the inside distance between the two attachment points on your watch, in millimetres. This is your lug width.

  2. Two halves, one fit.

    Measure both halves of a strap you already wear comfortably, excluding the buckle. Compare those measurements with the selected size.

  3. Check the buckle.

    The strap can taper from the lug to a narrower buckle. Check the buckle width if you plan to reuse existing hardware.

The complete sizing guide

For Apple Watch, choose your case size and adapter colour. For Samsung, choose your watch model so we can match its attachment.

When will my strap arrive?

Production takes 7–10 business days. Shipping takes 7–14 days after dispatch. These are separate estimates, not a guaranteed arrival date.

A vintage-inspired outline.

This design takes a vintage direction in its surface, proportions or stitching. The selected product photographs show the particular combination; “vintage” does not identify the age of the leather or the strap.

Choose your watch connection, lug width and strap length in the fitting options above. A compatible connection matters as much as the appearance of the strap.
