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!
comfortable and recommended.
My favourite leather, the Delugs shell.
Extremely comfortable and looks great on my Speedmaster. The slim taper looks and feels nice and streamlined.
It’s the perfect strap for my dress watch. Great shine, perfectly shaped and extremely comfortable out of the box. Just as I wanted it to be. Great stuff from Delugs.
