Ostrich skin
Definition
Ostrich leather is a fine material characterised by a distinctive texture with small natural quill points that give it a unique, recognisable look. Valued in luxury watches for its softness, durability and versatility of colour, it represents a sophisticated choice for anyone seeking exclusive straps that last over time.
Frequently asked questions
Why is ostrich leather expensive?
Limited availability, the difficulty of working it and the unique characteristics of its natural texture, along with its superior durability, justify a higher price than other leathers.
How do you clean an ostrich leather strap?
I recommend gentle cleaning with a soft damp cloth and neutral soap. Avoid prolonged soaking and dry away from direct heat sources.
Is ostrich leather suitable for all watches?
Yes, its versatility allows it to be paired with any watch, from classic to modern, always guaranteeing an elegant and refined result.
