The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the tanning process, frequency of use and care routine. A vegetable-tanned alligator or shell cordovan strap, kept away from prolonged water exposure and regularly conditioned, can last between 3 and 7 years while developing a distinguished patina. For intensive or marine use, a rubber or NATO strap is recommended.
