Frequently asked questions
What is the most suitable strap for the Van der Gang Gents 20010?
Given the minimalist character and Nordic sobriety of the model, we recommend straps crafted in alligator or shell cordovan leather with vegetable tanning. These materials develop a natural patina over time that harmonises perfectly with the stainless steel case. For versatile daily alternatives, vegetable-tanned calf leather (Barenia or Taurillon) in neutral tones—brown, black, navy blue—offers comfort whilst maintaining aesthetic balance.
How long does a leather strap last on a watch such as the Van der Gang Gents 20010?
Leather strap longevity depends on construction quality, thickness, tanning method, and intensity of wear. A strap in alligator or shell cordovan with vegetable tanning (minimum 1.8mm thickness) may last 4–7 years with daily wear and regular maintenance (conditioning every 12 months). Mid-range calf leather offers 2–4 years of service. Critical factors include: avoid prolonged moisture exposure, protect from direct sunlight, and rotate among multiple straps to reduce concentrated wear.
