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.

Find Your Lug Width
If you're looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to "A" in this schematic below.
There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.
- Firstly, you can Google "<watch brand and model> lug width" and see if there is an answer from the brand's website, or some other websites.
- Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.
Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.
You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.
Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width ("A" in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width ("B" in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.Â

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.
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.
Customer Reviews
This is by far the best alligator leather strap i have ever had. Usually these straps require a lot of break in, but this strap was very comfortable and supple out of the box with only a little bit of break in needed. It conformed to my wrist very readily and fast. So comfortable.
Build and stitch quality is top notch. The alligator pattern is really great!!! The colour….OMG this matte ocean blue is out of this world. I’ve already received many compliments of it on my Grand Seiko SBGM221. It is perfect and completely transformed my watch and watch wearing experience. I’ll definitely be buying more and will constantly be lurking to see any new offerings from this company.
Excellent quality strap. I got the spring deployant clasp to go with it and everything works nicely. Adding micro adjustments to the deployant clasp will make it perfect.
Excellent! And delivered way quicker than expected!
The leather strap is well made, I was kept posted on the status of my order, good job! The pin buckle quality could be better to match the strap though. I wish I could order a ready to wear 21-18 strap instead of a made to order so that I can use my original zenith pin buckle. I also feel that it taper a bit too much for 20-16 strap.
Almost every week purchase from them,their straps are valued for money..
