Saffiano is no ordinary leather. Its cross-grain is created by hot pressing that compacts the fibers, making the surface scratch and moisture resistant, and providing a visually precise, almost geometric texture. On an Apple Watch, it completely changes the wrist's aesthetic.
The edge is folded — a process that conceals the raw cut under a layer of leather turned and hand-pressed. The blue stitching follows the perimeter continuously, without smudging. The buckle is made of stainless steel, with a weight and solidity that are immediately perceptible upon closing.
The blue chosen for this strap is not an assertive color: it is a blue that works by subtraction, discreet enough to stand out without overpowering the dial.
Each piece is produced in Italy. The Saffiano grain, being made from natural leather, may show slight variations from piece to piece — a sign that it is not a synthetic material.
