The quintessential leather strap. Barenia leather from Haas tannery in France is widely used by Hermes, and Hermes doesn't just choose any leather to use. It only uses the best. This is the same Barenia that Apple uses for its Apple Watch strap, and Hermes for its Birkin bag.
Barenia leather is soft and supple, with just the right firmness. It has a very smooth surface, with just a tiny bit of gloss. Closer inspection can reveal the beautiful grain on this leather. It has moderate scratch resistance which means you don't need to baby the strap. Small scratches can be buffed out with just some slight rubbing. This also means that Barenia is able to develop a beautiful patina that results in a slight darkening of the leather with use.
Super comfortable and great design! Especially like the texture of the leather whilst being supple and firm.
Very well made, looks great with cream colored dials like the SBGW231. Quality-wise, above common brands like Hirsch and Fluco and sizing works great for my 6.25 inch wrist.
Very soft and comfortable leather. Matches very well with the watch.
Best strap I had and match so good with the speedy
nice strap, smooth, comfortable for everyday use. Good quality
