20mm nubuck — velvet that withstands daily use

SIZE 20MM · NUBUCK

Calf nubuck: a velvety texture with the strength of full-grain leather

Nubuck is the outer surface of leather, processed with very fine sandpaper until it becomes velvety. It is not suede. It holds up better to abrasion and humidity, develops a patina over time, and maintains a uniform texture. For those who want a soft aesthetic but live with their watch every day.

Cognac or tobacco on a Patek Philippe 3970 or IWC Pilot: formal enough, robust for everyday use. Navy blue on a GMT is a less obvious but very successful combination. At Casati Milano atelier, you choose the leather for your watch.

Frequently asked questions

Which 20mm watches are compatible with a Nubuck strap?

Patek Philippe 3970, Omega 1566.56.00, Tudor 79950, Wyler Vetta WV0601 and WV0600. If you're not sure about the size, check the spring bar hole on the watch with a tape measure.

Why choose Nubuck for a 20mm watch?

Nubuck has the velvety look of suede but withstands abrasion and moisture better. At 20mm it's versatile: smart enough for dinner, robust enough for everyday use. It develops an elegant patina over time.

How do you measure the 20mm lug width?

Measure the spring bar hole on the watch with a tape measure. If the hole is 20mm, that's the size. If in doubt, write to Milano Straps and attach a photo of the watch from above.

How much does a 20mm Nubuck strap cost?

20mm Nubuck straps start from €90. The price varies according to the shade chosen and the customised finishing details.

Can you order a made-to-measure 20mm Nubuck strap in the atelier?

Casati Milano receives clients by appointment at Via XX Settembre 15, Milan. The leather is chosen together — the strap is created on the watch, not beforehand.
