Questions, answered

How do I choose my size?

Delugs leather straps come in two pieces — a Long End and a Short End — so the buckle sits centred and comfortable. Measure your wrist, then pick the size shown on each product page. If you're between sizes, size down for a snugger fit. Still unsure? Drop us a line on live chat and we'll size you.

What lug width do I need?

Match the lug width to your watch — it's the gap between the lugs where the strap attaches. We make a full range from 16mm to 24mm. If you're not sure, check your exact model in the Strap Finder.

What's the difference between the leathers?

From smooth calf and textured Chèvre to fine-grained Epsom and exotic alligator — each leather has its own character, finish and patina over time. Tap into any product for its material story.

Are they made to order?

Most of our leather straps are hand-made to order by our crafters, so each one is finished just for you. If you need something right away, look for Ready-Stock straps that ship immediately.

Do they come with quick-release spring bars?

Most models include quick-release spring bars, so you can swap straps in seconds without tools.

How do I care for my leather strap?

Keep it away from prolonged water and moisture, wipe gently with a dry cloth, and let it breathe between wears. Exotic leathers carry natural markings and grain variation — part of the character of genuine hide.
