Matte Navy Alligator Cartier Santos-Dumont Strap
Chat with us now
Cartier Santos-Dumont line is extremely well-received and very versatile with leather straps given the dressy nature of the watch. However, there is a lack of 3rd-party strap options as a special insert is needed to ensure that the straps fit flush with the watch. While regular straps could be used, it does not create an integrated fit that flows nicely with the case, which is not ideal. We are now able to craft integrated straps using the same metal adapters, to craft a strap that is a perfect fit for the Cartier Santos-Dumont. Read more about this release here.
If you want to instantly class up your timepiece and get it ready for a dressed up occasion, pair it with a Matte Navy Alligator and you are ready. There's a reason why so many dress watches on the market come stock with a Navy Alligator strap - because it works. Go with a handcrafted, Alligator strap and not some embossed pattern, because it isn't the same and you know it.

Strap Length Guide
There are two sides per strap, which we refer to as the long end and the short end, which are represented by C and D respectively in the diagram below.
Our handcrafted leather straps come in 3 different lengths.
- Small (C: 105mm, D: 65mm)
- Medium (C: 115mm, D: 70mm)
- Large (C: 125mm, D: 75mm)
A quick way to decide on the length to get is based on your wrist size. Here is the general recommendation (if you are between sizes, we recommend to size up):
- Wrist size of 14.5cm - 17.0cm: Small
- Wrist size of 16.5cm - 19.0cm : Medium
- Wrist size of 18.5cm - 21.0cm: Large
If you need a strap that is shorter than Small (105/65), or longer than Large (125/75), you can always have the strap custom made.

Hope this quick guide helps! Finding the perfect length to get can be a little bit more complicated, as it also depends on the lug-to-lug distance of your watch, and even the shape of your wrist. For a more detailed guide on sizing, please check out this page.

Scratch-Resistant
Pliable
The strap is very soft and flexible, and is extremely comfortable with zero break-in required. This is owing to both the type of material used, and the overall construction of the strap.
Integrated
The strap provides an integrated fit with the watch - i.e. there is no gap between the strap and the case. This also means that the strap will only fit the specific model / reference number of watch as specified in the listing, and will not fit any other references.
Distinctive Texture
The leather used has naturally formed grains, and thus there will be some variance in terms of how every strap looks. The photos provided in the listing are just one example of how the strap might look.
Combination Tanned
Combination tanned is when the animal hides have been both chrome tanned and vegetable tanned, to achieve a combination of both tanning methods properties.
