Crocodile leather is unforgettable. Rubbed, it becomes even less so.
This strap starts with genuine crocodile leather and undergoes a rubberizing process that alters its surface without betraying its structure: the scales remain legible, the character of the reptile remains intact. The result is a leather that accepts humidity, resists daily wear and tear, and can be worn without ceremony — even where a classic crocodile would not go.
The tribal blue stitching is not decoration: it is a point of view. A chromatic choice that breaks up the black with surgical precision, without falling into clamor. Those who notice it, understand. Those who do not notice it were not the intended recipient.
Each piece is made from a single hide. Variations in grain, tone, and texture are not defects — they are proof that no two straps are identical. Made in Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference compared to a traditional polished or matte crocodile strap?
The gumming process modifies the leather surface, making it more resistant to moisture and abrasion than a classic polished or matte finish. The crocodile grain remains visible and tactilely present, but the leather acquires a more compact texture and becomes less sensitive to sweat and external agents. It’s a choice designed for those who want crocodile character with greater everyday practicality.
Do blue stitches hold up over time without fading or fraying?
The thread used for tribal stitching is selected for color fastness and structural durability. With normal use and minimal strap care, the stitches maintain color and integrity over time. It’s advisable to avoid prolonged water immersion, not so much for the stitching as to preserve the gummed leather long-term.
Which watches does this strap pair best with?
The 20mm lug width makes it compatible with a wide range of sports and contemporary watches—it works well on mid-sized cases where the black/blue contrast finds a precise counterpoint. It sits naturally on modern sports watches, GMTs, and chronographs with dark dials or blue details. Less suited for classic three-hand dress watches.
Is the taper from 20mm to 16mm compatible with standard buckles?
Yes. The 16mm width at the buckle is a standard measurement, compatible with most pin and deployant buckles on the market. If you wish to replace the original buckle with one of different dimensions, simply ensure your choice falls on a 16mm buckle.
