Milano Straps Glossary

Bund

The Bund is a military strap style characterized by a protective pad on the back that insulates the wrist from the watch case back. In my experience, this design, born in German aviation in the 1970s, offers superior comfort and protection, especially with watches with metal case backs. I craft Bund straps from thick, soft leathers to ensure maximum functionality without compromising elegance. Want to feel its texture on your wrist?
