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!
Excerpt from Strap Guide by Tom: "The earliest known use cases for Shell Cordovan leather was in armour breast plates and shields of the 7th century. It's non-porous and non-creasing surface and ability to maintain oils from the tanning process made it superior to most leathers in term of both durability and water resistance. Today it is mostly appreciated for its natural and unmistakable shine and is mostly used in quality shoes and boots. The Cognac color gives the Tank a quite casual but still elegant look."
I enjoy this codovan strap with reasonable price.
It is slim so it is suite for slim watches.
Great strap incredible looks and incredible quality
My first impression of this strap and of Delugs is exactly what everyone says: incredible looks and incredible quality! I was afraid that it would be too thick for my Cartier Tank Must Large, but its a perfect fit (19 mm). So happy to find a strap that I can be happy to put on and that elevates my watch.
First experience with this kind material for a watch strap and glad I chose Delugs. Impeccable feeling around the wrist and beautiful to look at daily.
My images are fairly representative of the colour of this strap. I was hoping for a more intense warm glowing brown. But so far, I am liking it more and more anyway.
It is very comfortable.
