Selected leathers
The matte alligator has a different character from the glossy one. It absorbs light instead of reflecting it, bringing depth to the color. This dark brown is not neutral — it's a precise choice, pairing with brushed steel as well as rose gold without demanding attention.
Made from genuine matte alligator leather, crafted in Italy, the strap fits the Apple Watch case without compromising its proportions. The thickness tapers from 3.5mm at the lug to 2.5mm at the clasp: the wrist immediately perceives it, with that feeling of controlled weight that distinguishes a well-constructed strap from one that is merely assembled.
The matte finish withstands daily wear better than you might think. It doesn't show scratches — it absorbs them into the character of the leather. Over time, the brown takes on warm nuances that the glossy version could not develop in the same way.

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 sizes are available for this strap?
I have two sizes for sale: 20mm x 16mm and 22mm x 18mm. The lugs are 115mm (long) and 75mm (short), so the strap fits well on both smaller and larger wrists.
Why does the thickness change from the lug to the buckle?
It starts at 3.5mm near the keeper loop and tapers to 2.5mm at the buckle. This gradual tapering gives weight where it's needed and lightness where the strap needs to close comfortably on the wrist.
Does this dark brown look good with a rose gold case?
Yes. The matte dark brown absorbs light and pairs well with both brushed steel and rose gold. It's a colour that doesn't demand attention, but holds it.
With daily use, does the leather scratch?
The matte finish holds up well to wear. It doesn't show scratches the way a glossy finish would: it absorbs them into the leather's character, and over time the brown warms with new nuances.
Is this leather really alligator, not another exotic?
Yes, it's genuine alligator leather, matte finish, crafted in Italy. I make this clear because at the counter the difference between exotic leathers can be seen and felt to the touch.
