Minerva Box leather comes from Badalassi Carlo tannery from Italy, which also makes many popular leather articles such as Pueblo and Waxy. It has a beautiful naturally pebbled surface texture that comes as a result of the tanning process, giving it a lot of character and depth.
Excerpt from Strap Guide by Michael: "The BB58 Blue and the Navy Minerva Box Signature strap seem like they were MADE FOR EACH OTHER. The pebbled texture of the leather, the saturated blue tones, AND the depth and character of this strap all make you look down at your wrist and let out an audible “gasp”! Just beware of sporting this combo while driving, as you might have trouble keeping your eyes on the road!"
Note: Minerva Box is a naturally tumbled leather and hence has both pebbled and smooth surfaces. The strap that you receive may not be uniformly pebbled or smooth.
Good texture
Comfortable, well-made, nice subtle colour matching the blued seconds hand very well!
Love the colour and the quality of the strap. Works well with my JLC moon phase watch. Only point would be the natural pebbling effect is not very prominent (or may be only on my strap hyde). So if you want a prominent effect this won’t be the correct strap. But if you are happy with subtlety then it’s brilliant.
Once again, Delugs never fails to deliver. Got Navy Minerva for my Master Ultra Thin Moon and it’s a match made in heaven. All the best wishes to Ken and team!
High quality strap for a reasonable price and fast shipping! It's perfect for my watch! Thank you!
