Russian Hatch Grain Slim strap is a textured, rustic strap that suits the modern gentleman. It is a very supple strap with no break-in required, and has a rich colour and character that complements vintage watches really well. The colours are classic and pair well with most outfits and suits.
Russian Hatch Grain leather comes from the esteemed Horween tannery from Chicago, USA. It has a grained texture that is similar to Epsom, but not as pronounced. It's most commonly used in leather shoes, but with it's great looks and character, there's no reason it doesn't work on a strap too!
All watch straps will come with our Delugs tang buckle and quick release bars, so that you can easily swap out between your favourite watch straps and not have to fuss about scratching your watch lugs. No one will judge you for changing straps every day!
Straps in the Slim collection have a total of 3 layers of various material that goes into each strap, with each layer serving a specific purpose. From top to bottom, they are: (1) exterior leather, (2) synthetic strengthener, (3) lining leather.
All layers are firstly glued and pressed together, before they are stitched. Finally, the edges are finished with edge paint, which adds an additional layer along the exposed edges of leather and protects it from wear and tear, and water damage, over time. This also prevents the different layers from separating - an additional layer of prevention on top of the stitching.
Lug Width: Find out the lug width of your watch mode. You can do this by searching the following "(watch model) lug width" in Google. Once you know the lug width (for e.g. 20mm), select the 20-16 variant for the lug width. 20 refers to the lug width, while 16 refers to the buckle width. Our straps come with a taper because it looks classier than straight straps.
Size: Not sure what size (length) to get for the straps? There are two methods to determine this.
Method 1: If you have an existing strap on your watch, measure the long and short straps, sum up the lengths, and choose the variant (Small or Medium) that is the closest to the total length of your existing straps. For example, if your existing straps measure 105mm on the long strap and 80mm on the short strap, the total length is 185mm. The closest variant would be Medium (115mm/70mm = 185mm). Note that this is still an approximation, and you should adjust accordingly if your current strap does not fit your wrist perfectly.Method 2: If your existing watch does not have a normal strap (you have a bracelet on), you would need to measure your wrist size and purchase the strap size according to the guidelines below. If you are between sizes (for e.g. wrist size of 17.5cm), we recommend to size up.
This seems to go with everything
When I first took this strap out, the colour definitely struck me as being slightly more grey. Nothing ever compares to seeing something in the flesh and I have to say that while I was apprehensive at first, after I fitted it on, it looked great on my two-tone 41mm Datejust. The main reason I wanted to go from a bracelet to a strap was because I found my Datejust a bit too loud for some occasions. That watch and bracelet can get pretty shiny and reflective, and those who own one will be able to attest to this.
So, this new strap worked like a charm. I wanted something more subtle and the way the black dial transitions to the gold bezel, to the steel lugs, to the strap in my opinion is seamless and just works. You can see that in the pics for yourselves.
Other than the colour, I've had it on for a day now and wearability is fine. It was comfortable and is more flexible and softer option to the bracelet. Overall, I think this is a great strap if you can find the right watch to pair it with - especially one where you want the watch to be the hero, and for the strap to be a silent complementary partner that isn't your usual brown or black options.
Nice combination of the white creamy dial and the dark blue (nearly grey, actually) strap. I also like the nice texture as well.
This may well be the most favorite strap I've received from Delugs. Although most straps are soft when new, this one takes it to the next level. It's luxuriously supple and pliable, which means to say, these will conform to your wrist without any need for break-in and will be comfortable from Day 1. The cross hatch graining of the leather combined with the slim unpadded profile makes for a very attractive look on wrist.
I got this for my Omega FOIS, and am loving the vintage vibe that this combination has. Shipping was fast and professionally packaged.
