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!
The natural shell cordovan strap is meticulously manufactured and has brightened up my watch. I think it is well worth its price and can highly recommend!
Excellent quality!
In order to dress down my 1815 up/down. The factory strap is gorgeous, just not my style. This watch screamed for a strap change and Delugs was far and away the number 1 choice and recommendation. And boy did they deliver! Wonderful light color really goes well with the dial and I can’t wait to see how it ages. I went with a polished deployant clasp which is well constructed and easy to install. Can’t wait to order more. Well done!
Gorgeous, Bravo, Danke!
This strap looks great with most of my watches. The quality is high, and the service and shipping was fast. Thanks Delugs.
