Light Grey Nubuck 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.
Nubuck has a soft touch with a short and even nap. It is supple and flexible from the start, but yet has just the right amount of structure. This strap is great if you are looking for something that's casual enough for all your daily activities, soft and comfortable to the touch, and an alternative to regular leather texture.

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.
Chrome Tanned
The animal hide is turned into leather through a tanning process that uses chromium salts and tanning liquors. Chrome-tan is a more industrial tanning process, and the resultant leather is typically more pliable, with greater water-resistance and scratch-resistance properties. Chrome-tanned leather are generally also available in a wider range of colours.
Customer Reviews
This Delugs Nubuck strap for the Cartier Santos-Dumont just looks phenomenal on the watch and feels so comfortable on the wrist. It changed the watch to a more casual style, which I absolutely love for the weekend.
I love this strap. Way more comfortable than the leather and transforms the look of the watch. Looks like it was made for it.
