Shell Cordovan is the top tier leather available, before the category of exotics. It comes from the hind of a horse, and because the fibres are packed so densely together, the leather that results from that is incredibly durable. While Shell Cordovan is usually a stiff leather, when made in the Slim style, it is very flexible and a great companion to your dress watch.
The Shell Cordovan we use comes from Shinki Hikaku tannery in Japan. Typical of most shell cordovan, it has a high gloss finish. Unique to Shinki Shell, the surface is extremely uniform and clean, with a beautiful depth of colour. This leather is so durable that it is likely to last as long as your mechanical timepiece!
Good quality and express delivery. Customer service provided timely responses to my questions. Highly recommended.
Very comfortable on the wrist
Nothing gives a sheen like shell cordovan. It made the Everbright Steel if my SLA043 pop even more.
Qualité magnifique, le cuir est brillant et souple, les finitions magnifiques comme toujours 👌🏻
Black cordovan strap, thin, smooth, crease-less, with tidy black stitching. The tan calf skin underside imparts a little fun contrast to the otherwise sober black strap / shiny buckle combination. Tan underside is slightly stained black in places and buckle holes slightly off centre in my pair, however doesn't affect function and an otherwise enjoyable wearing experience. Great strap for the price.
