Selected leathers
A piece of leather that demands to be noticed. The red of the treated alligator is bright, bold—the blue stitching runs through it like a technical signature, not a decorative embellishment.
The military strap originates from a project developed by the British Ministry of Defence: a one-piece format that slides under the watch case and remains on the wrist even if a spring bar should fail. This is not a minor detail—it is the very reason this construction exists. The alligator leather undergoes a rubberized treatment that makes it resistant to the daily knocks and bumps without sacrificing the leather's structure. The alligator grain is palpable to the touch. In practice, the treatment is evident.
Quick exchange spring bars are included: changing is immediate, no tools required.

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.
The next step
The right strap isn’t chosen. It is built, together.
From the atelier appointment to delivery, every step is made for those who know that things done well take time. Rare leathers, one piece at a time, eighteen months of warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does it mean that this is a 'one-piece' strap, and how does it differ from a traditional two-piece strap?
The strap passes as a single strip beneath the watch case, eliminating the junction point between two segments. The advantage is structural: if one of the spring bars were to slip out, the strap remains on the wrist regardless. This construction originated in military applications specifically to reduce failure points.
Does the rubberised treatment alter the visual and tactile grain of the alligator?
The grain remains legible and present — the treatment acts in depth to make the leather resistant to moisture and impacts, without creating a plastic-like surface layer. To the touch, the alligator structure is still perceptible; the difference from untreated alligator lies in durability over time, not in immediate appearance.
Which watches does this strap pair well with, considering the bright red colour and blue stitching?
The red/blue combination is intentionally bold: it works on steel cases with dark or black dials, where contrast is sought. Less suited to watches with light or gold dials, where the colour risks clashing. Those who choose it typically know they want the strap to make a statement.
What wrist sizes does the total length of 255mm accommodate?
At 255mm total length, the one-piece strap accommodates a wide range of wrist circumferences, indicatively between 160mm and 210mm. Length distribution is fixed — since there are no separate segments as in traditional straps, it is advisable to measure your own circumference before purchase.
