The quintessential leather strap. Barenia leather from Haas tannery in France is widely used by Hermes, and Hermes doesn't just choose any leather to use. It only uses the best. This is the same Barenia that Apple uses for its Apple Watch strap, and Hermes for its Birkin bag.
Barenia leather is soft and supple, with just the right firmness. It has a very smooth surface, with just a tiny bit of gloss. Closer inspection can reveal the beautiful grain on this leather. It has moderate scratch resistance which means you don't need to baby the strap. Small scratches can be buffed out with just some slight rubbing. This also means that Barenia is able to develop a beautiful patina that results in a slight darkening of the leather with use.
I really like it and it’s very soft I hope it lives as much as it can since it’s a leather strap but I would recommend for the price
Strap fits perfectly on my SBGW289.
Excellent
Bought a strap to match my Grand Seiko SBGA413 "Spring". Color matching a light pink dial watch was a challenge, liked what I saw with Delugs options and decided to give them a try. Had some initial concerns as to whether it would be worth it or not, as well as the wait time to Texas from Singapore. Not only did the strap arrive very quickly through DHL, you can clearly see that the strap itself is exceptional in person. Very satisfied with the product and the buying experience!
I've been looking for a high quality light colored leather strap for summer for my AT 41mm with a white dial and white hand set (can't remember the reference). This strap is fantastic for that. It is extremely comfortable and was soft out of the box. I've gotten compliments from coworkers on it who aren't even into watches. I will definitely be shopping here again for future straps.
