FAQ

Yes. A properly built leather strap with a quality lining is perfect for daily wear. Rotating between 2 or 3 straps will extend their life and keep them comfortable and fresh.

The best material depends on how you wear your watch. Full grain Italian leather is ideal for daily luxury wear, rubber is best for water and sports, and nylon is perfect for travel and active use. The key is proper construction and correct sizing, not just the material.

A well made leather strap can last up to 10 years with normal rotation and proper care. It will develop patina and soften over time, which is part of the beauty of real leather.

Yes. Strap thickness, padding, lining leather, and taper all affect comfort. A properly built strap balances the watch head, prevents sliding, and distributes weight evenly on the wrist.

High quality straps use selected cuts of leather, reinforced structure, strong stitching, and proper padding. Cheap straps often use low density leather, weak lining, and minimal reinforcement, which leads to fast wear and poor comfort.

You need to match the lug width of your watch, such as 18 mm, 20 mm, or 22 mm, and choose the correct strap length for your wrist. A caliper or measuring guide is the most accurate way to measure.

Patina is the natural aging of leather caused by wear, light, and skin oils. It gives each strap a unique character and proves the leather is natural and uncoated. Patina is a sign of quality, not damage.
