Cordovan 20mm — Aged Shell, scratch resistant

SIZE 20MM · CORDOVAN

20mm Shell Cordovan: the leather that stands the test of time

Cordovan is a fibrous layer measuring 30x15cm per horse, vegetable-tanned for six months. It doesn't scratch; it creases. The marks disappear with thumb pressure — the fibers realign. It's the most wear-resistant material we've worked with. Ten-year-old straps look like they're two years old.

At 20mm, it pairs well with vintage dress watches in natural cordovan, or tan brown on an Omega Speedmaster for contrast with the dial. Choose between Horween (matte, noticeable grain) and Shinki Hikaku (satin, mirrored finish). At Casati's workshop, by appointment, the strap is made for the watch, not in advance.
