What watches does this strap pair with?
It works on both vintage and modern watches; as a two-piece strap it suits classic lug fittings across dress and everyday pieces.

Is this strap durable for everyday wear?
Our leather straps are made for everyday wear and develop character over time; occasional conditioning keeps them supple.
