Taupe Saffiano Signature (Curved) Strap
Chat with us now
Saffiano leather is extremely popular amongst mainstream fashion. Even if you don't know its name, you probably have seen it before. It's an embossed pattern that has very pronounced and uniform grain. The scratch and water resistance of Saffiano is amongst the best there is.
Excerpt from Strap Guide by Eric: "For decades, saffiano leather was used exclusively by the design house Prada, who had patented it in the early 1900’s. However, when the patent expired around the 90’s, other makers now had access to this durable, water resistant, scratch resistant, wonder leather. I personally love the material for the way that it catches light so beautifully, the sheen giving it a very dressy feel. Taupe is also just such a great colour. Is it grey? Is it brown? It’s both and I think it pairs well with either."
Excerpt from Strap Guide by Majd: "The big selling point of Saffiano is clear: the signature cross-hatch pattern gives it a high level of scratch and water resistance. The colour Taupe, on the other hand, is a bit of a mystery to me. Under some lighting conditions, it appears beige-brown. Other times, it appears closer to stone gray. When the Sun is out in full force, it turns dark cream… Taupe is a true chameleon of the watch strap colour wheel. So what do you get when you combine Saffiano leather with this shade of taupe? A strap that you can wear to dress up an informal outfit, or dress down a more formal outfit, all while not having to worry too much about its ability to keep up."
Note: This strap comes with curved lugs. Read more about whether you need a curved strap here.

Strap Length Guide
There are two sides per strap, which we refer to as the long end and the short end, which are represented by C and D respectively in the diagram below.
Our handcrafted leather straps come in 3 different lengths.
- Small (C: 105mm, D: 65mm)
- Medium (C: 115mm, D: 70mm)
- Large (C: 125mm, D: 75mm)
A quick way to decide on the length to get is based on your wrist size. Here is the general recommendation (if you are between sizes, we recommend to size up):
- Wrist size of 14.5cm - 17.0cm: Small
- Wrist size of 16.5cm - 19.0cm : Medium
- Wrist size of 18.5cm - 21.0cm: Large
If you need a strap that is shorter than Small (105/65), or longer than Large (125/75), you can always have the strap custom made.
| Measurements | Description | S | M | L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Lug width | Varies by lug width (see product listing) |
||
| B | Buckle width | |||
| C | Long strap length | 105mm | 115mm | 125mm |
| D | Short strap length | 65mm | 70mm | 75mm |
| E | Distance to middle hole | 63mm | 71mm | 81mm |
| F | Distance between holes | 6mm | ||
| G | Size of holes | 1.8mm | ||
| Number of Strap Holes | 7 | 7 | 7 | |
Hope this quick guide helps! Finding the perfect length to get can be a little bit more complicated, as it also depends on the lug-to-lug distance of your watch, and even the shape of your wrist. For a more detailed guide on sizing, please check out this page.
Find Your Lug Width
If you're looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to "A" in this schematic below.
There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.
- Firstly, you can Google "<watch brand and model> lug width" and see if there is an answer from the brand's website, or some other websites.
- Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.
Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.
You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.
Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width ("A" in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width ("B" in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.
Chrome Tanned
The animal hide is turned into leather through a tanning process that uses chromium salts and tanning liquors. Chrome-tan is a more industrial tanning process, and the resultant leather is typically more pliable, with greater water-resistance and scratch-resistance properties. Chrome-tanned leather are generally also available in a wider range of colours.
