Apple Watch Strap Matte Grey Alligator
SKU: 402-GRM-SS-1
Matte alligator doesn't reflect light—it absorbs it. The matte grey of this strap has a depth that glossy surfaces cannot replicate: it changes tone with natural light, settles over time, and gains character with use.
Made from matte grey alligator leather sourced from Italy, it's designed for those who wear their Apple Watch without wanting to hide it—but without flaunting it either. The combination of wrist technology and handcrafted leather is, in this case, entirely free of contradictions.
Each piece is cut from a single piece of leather: variations in texture and shade are not defects, but the signature of an authentic material. No two straps are identical.

Patina is the signature of time.
Alligator doesn't wear down: it matures. The first months on the wrist soften its flank, light darkens the ridges just slightly, and the colour deepens. We treat it with neutral oils, no varnish to smother the grain: what you take home isn't finished, it's only beginning.

Frequently asked questions
What Apple Watch sizes does this strap cover?
There are two attachment sizes: 38-40-41mm and 42-44-45-49mm. Choose the one matching your watch, not the physical attachment: we take care of the rest.
Which adapter colour should I choose?
Steel, yellow gold, rose gold, or black PVD. The matte grey of the alligator pairs with all four: it simply depends on the case on your wrist.
Why does each strap look slightly different from the others?
Each piece is cut from a single alligator hide. Texture and shade vary from one piece to another: it's genuine leather, not a uniform print.
How thick is this strap?
3.5mm near the attachment, tapering down to 2.5mm. It narrows towards the buckle, so it feels lighter on the wrist.
Does the matte grey change with use?
Yes. Unlike glossy alligator, it doesn't reflect light but absorbs it. Over time the tone settles and the strap develops character: after months of wear, no two pieces will ever be identical.
