Vintage Grey Leather Strap – Handmade in Milan

Italian vintage leather is selected precisely for its ability to evolve with daily wear. The brushed finish does not wear uniformly — it develops patinas and nuances that make every strap increasingly personal. It’s not a product that ages poorly: it’s a product designed to age well.

2.8mm is a thickness calibrated to sit between two extremes: substantial enough to support a field watch, restrained enough not to create bulges under a shirt cuff. On a thin dress watch’s lug width it fits without forcing and maintains a clean profile. It’s the measurement you would choose even if you didn’t have to choose it.

It depends on the batch and processing timing. Vintage grey is not a standardized colour: hand brushing and the nature of natural leather produce nuances that can vary from medium grey to warmer tones or slightly cooler ones. If you have very specific chromatic requirements — for instance, matching a precise dial — write to us before ordering: we can guide you on available batches.

Width is chosen based on your watch’s lug width: measure the opening between the case lugs with calipers or a millimetre ruler. The number you obtain is the lug width — the first of two measurements (e.g. 20mm). The width at the buckle (16mm, 18mm, 20mm) is the part that passes through the buckle and follows automatically. If you’re unsure, contact us with your watch reference.
