Chevre leather from Alran tannery is most often used in small leather goods. The beauty of Alran Chevre is in the texture and grain. It has a slight pebbled texture that is very smooth to the touch, making any product immediately look luxurious. Compared to Epsom, the pebbled surface on Chevre is formed naturally from the raw goat leather and the tanning process, and not embossed on. It also has finer pebbled grain patterns compared to Epsom, and is slightly shiny. Similar to Epsom, Chevre also has very strong water and scratch-resistant properties.
The gold strap and stitching colours go well with rose gold. Note: I asked to have the spring bars and buckle removed but this was not done (Delugs used to do this) so giving this only 4 stars.
Supple, well made and I really dig the color. It’s on the slimmer side which I really like.
Excellent strap matches my 5212a well.
Colour matched well with my Longines Flagship Heritage. The leather was also supple plus the rubber lining gives me confidence that this strap will be more durable than the last one.
The strap looks and feels great. My only problem is that the side is starting to peel off and it’s only been worn less then a week. Not noticeable until you notice it and then it distracts you from the overall beauty of the strap.
