Shell Cordovan is the top tier leather available, before the category of exotics. It comes from the hind of a horse, and because the fibres are packed so densely together, the leather that results from that is incredibly durable. While Shell Cordovan is usually a stiff leather, when made in the Slim style, it is very flexible and a great companion to your dress watch.
The Shell Cordovan we use comes from Shinki Hikaku tannery in Japan. Typical of most shell cordovan, it has a high gloss finish. Unique to Shinki Shell, the surface is extremely uniform and clean, with a beautiful depth of colour. This leather is so durable that it is likely to last as long as your mechanical timepiece!
Excerpt from Strap Guide by Sam: "Between its lustrous finish, excellent durability, and deep coloring, I really like shell cordovan. The blue is a unique hue, and unlike other versions of “shell” straps I’ve encountered, this one does not feel overly dressy. I also appreciate the subtle blue-blue contrast stitch, it’s a fun touch."
Great quality, really fast shipping
I bought this strap for a Longines Heritage Classic (Sector) watch. It arrived exactly as it appears on Delugs site. The cordovan is flawless and reflects light beautifully; the stitching plays off the blued steel of the watch hands. The purchasing process, from ordering through delivery, was faultless. I was pleasantly surprised that the strap came in 19/105. This is my second strap from Delugs. Nice done!
love the texture of this strap that really fit well to my GS SLGH009G watch. The strap bring out the casual side of this watch and compliment well to dial color :)
Beautiful strap!!
Its worth in extra money
