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!
Product well received within the day of purchase. Good quality and more importantly, excellent follow up and customer service!
Definitely would recommend. To be honest I’m doing the review to get a discount for my 5th strap at delugs.
The picture doesn’t do it Justice, the cognac cordovan keeps the honey brown of cognac, has that slight gloss to make it dressy when you need but keeps it casual at the same time! Very pleased!
4th purchase, will buy again
The strap quality is good, but the strap spring bar side is crowded to watch’s case, so the strap is wore. I have never tried that with the same watch. Besides, I followed the strap size instruction to choose the size, but the final result is too short the pin just pass the last hole, it is not good look. And QC may be improved. So I have not used it now.
Although, the quality is good and delivery is fast, but it is not good experience for me.
