Nubuck 22mm — Velvet that lasts

SIZE 22MM · NUBUCK

European calf nubuck: uniform texture, patinas over time

Nubuck is outer leather processed with very fine abrasive papers — velvety appearance, full leather resistance. It withstands abrasion and humidity better than suede. Good nubuck maintains a uniform texture and develops a unique ceremonial patina that you won't find on other materials.

On a 22mm cognac or tobacco, it works with Tudor Pelagos, Black Bay, GMT. Navy blue on a GMT is a less obvious but very successful combination. Casati Milano builds the strap on the watch — bring it to Via XX Settembre 15 and we'll choose the nubuck together.

Frequently asked questions

Which 22mm watches are compatible with a Nubuck strap?

Tudor Black Bay 36, Pelagos, GMT-Master II and Hunter — also M25827KNRS, M25827KNJN, M25827KN. If you're not sure, measure the existing lug between the spring bars.

Why choose Nubuck for a 22mm? Which style does it suit?

Nubuck holds up to daily use better than suede — it isn't waterproof but resists moisture. Cognac on a Pelagos or IWC Pilot is formal and robust. Navy on a GMT is less obvious, very successful.

How do you measure a 22mm lug? How do I check the measurement?

Measure between the spring bars of the watch: the distance from one bar to the other must be 22mm. Use a digital calliper or a ruler. If your current strap has the measurement stamped on it, it's even easier.

How much does a 22mm Nubuck strap cost?

From €90.

Is it possible to order a 22mm Nubuck strap made to measure in the atelier?

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