Black-Blue Cordovan Strap in Shell Cordovan

Cordovan is not bought for its luster. It is bought because it lasts for decades and changes with its wearer.

Derived from the horse's rump — not from the entire hide, but from a specific subcutaneous membrane — shell cordovan is one of the few materials in watchmaking that truly improves with time. It does not crack, nor does it crease unevenly: it develops a compact, dense patina that tells the story of every day of use. The black-blue coloring of this strap comes from the color overlay during tanning: a black that, in its reflections, gives way to blue, varying from piece to piece due to the nature of the leather.

Produced in Italy, with a reduced thickness to fit narrower lugs without forcing. The polished surface is the original of the material — not an applied finish.
