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!
It’s a nice leather strap. I got the green shell Cordovan. However, it’s starting to crack a little after one day.
Wanted a green strap to pair with my Kurono Grand Mori and this strap matched the dial perfectly! Quality is great as usual and strap wears comfortably.
Received my second Delugs strap. Went with the correct length of medium for my 6.5 inch wrist. Love the material and overall quality.
I'm clearly starting to develop a problem, but it's a good problem to have! I've been wearing the green cordovan strap on my GS SBGW231 and it adds a very nice pop of color while keeping the watch relatively dressy. Looks fantastic with the cream dial!
