1. Best Overall — Orange Saffiano Stitchless Strap
If you're buying your first aftermarket strap for the Dan Henry 1962/1964, this is where I'd start.
The Orange Saffiano Stitchless Strap uses saffiano leather — that signature cross-hatch embossed pattern you see on high-end bags and accessories. It is remarkably scratch-resistant and handles moisture better than most leathers, which makes it one of the most practical premium options you can put on a watch. At 2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
On the Dan Henry 1962/1964, this strap preserves the watch's go-anywhere character. The case at thick pairs naturally with the padded construction without creating any imbalance on the wrist.
Simple, effective, and genuinely enjoyable to wear.

When you need to dress the Dan Henry 1962/1964 up, this is the strap that delivers.

Each scale pattern is unique, and the matte finish gives it a refined presence that catches light without being flashy. The leather is supple from the start with minimal break-in needed. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

When you need your Dan Henry 1962/1964 ready for anything active, this is the pick — water-resistant, comfortable, and built to last.
The Pink CTS Rubber Strap is made from FKM rubber — a high-performance elastomer that resists chemicals, heat, and ageing. Unlike silicone, it does not attract dust or lint. Cut-to-size construction means you trim it to your exact wrist measurement — no leftover tail, no keepers. At 4.0–3.3mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.

7. The Wildcard — Forest Green Ostrich Leg Signature Strap
Every rotation needs a curveball. This is mine.
The Forest Green Ostrich Leg Signature Strap is made from ostrich leg leather. Unlike the body leather, ostrich leg has a distinctive scale-like texture with natural ridges and patterns that give it an almost reptilian character. It is soft, supple, and needs virtually no break-in time. At 4.5–2.2mm thick, it balances presence and wearability nicely.
What makes this pairing work on the Dan Henry 1962/1964 is the contrast — the refined case finishing against the texture creates visual interest without conflict. With a case, the proportions stay balanced.

A Note on Buckle Colour
Quick but important: always match your buckle to your case. The Dan Henry 1962/1964's case calls for a silver (brushed or polished) buckle. All Delugs leather straps ship with a pin buckle and can be upgraded to a Spring Deployant Clasp for extra security and convenience. All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars pre-installed, so swapping straps takes seconds.
How to Change the Strap on Your Dan Henry 1962/1964
Swapping straps on the Dan Henry 1962/1964 is one of the easiest upgrades you can make — and with Delugs straps, you don't even need a tool.
If your Dan Henry 1962/1964 came on a bracelet, you'll first need to remove it. The easiest way to do this at home is with a Bracelet Removal Tool, which lets you compress the spring bars without risking scratches to the lugs or caseback. Once the bracelet is off, you can slide your new Delugs strap straight in.
All Delugs straps come with quick-release spring bars already pre-installed, so changing straps is completely tool-free. Here's how:
- Prepare your workspace. Lay the watch face-down on a soft cloth or microfiber pad to protect the caseback from scratches.
- Release the spring bar. Locate the small lever on the quick-release spring bar. Pull it back with your fingernail or fingertip to compress the bar.
- Remove the strap. While holding the lever, angle the strap out from between the lugs. Repeat for the other side.
- Insert the new strap. Slide one end of the spring bar into the lug hole. Pull the lever on the quick-release spring bar knob, guide the entire spring bar into the opposite lug hole, and then release the knob. You should hear a small click when the spring bar extends and seats into the lug hole.
- Check the fit. Give the strap a gentle tug to make sure both spring bars are securely locked in. If there's any play, reseat the spring bar.
The entire process takes under a minute once you get the hang of it — no spring bar tool required. The Dan Henry 1962/1964 uses a standard 18mm lug width, and all Delugs straps in 18mm will fit perfectly.
