What's included?
- The watch strap (both the buckle side and the adjustment-holes side)
- A tang buckle (as shown in the product images), in a width matched to your strap. If a customization means the strap doesn't fit our standard buckle, a buckle isn't included.
- Quick-release springbars, if you've added them to your customization
Note: standard (non-quick-release) springbars and a strap-change springbar tool are sold separately.
Where is this strap made?
This Veblenist strap is handcrafted to order in our Chicago workshop.
How long until my order ships?
This strap is made to order, with a production time of 7–14 business days (about 2–3 weeks); more complex customizations may take longer. Rush production is available for an additional fee, depending on your timeline and specs.
How do I know which strap width to order?
Choose the strap width that matches your watch's lug width — the gap between your watch's lugs where the strap attaches. For more details, see our strap width guide.
How do I change or install the strap?
Watch straps attach to your watch's lugs with springbars. To fit a new strap, use a spring bar tool to compress one end of the bar, slot the strap between the lugs, and let the bar spring back into the lug holes — then repeat on the other side. If you've added quick-release springbars, no tool is needed: just slide the small lever to retract the bar and swap the strap by hand in seconds.
Can I use my own buckle or a deployant clasp?
Yes — choose the "Custom Buckle" option in the customization menu, and we'll ask a few questions to ensure a proper fit.
Are quick-release springbars available?
Yes — you can add quick-release springbars when you customize your strap. They come in whole sizes from 16 mm to 24 mm (no half sizes). If your strap's width falls outside 16–24 mm, we'll make the cutouts but can't include the springbars.
How do I care for my strap?
Wipe your cordovan strap with a soft, dry cloth and let the natural patina develop. Avoid soaking; if caught in rain, dry it slowly away from heat. Condition sparingly with a cordovan-specific cream and buff to restore shine.
