SKU: 055-LT-GREET-18-ST
Saffiano leather originated in Italy, in the tanneries that defined the lexicon of global leather goods. Mario Prada himself is credited with the idea for the cross-hatch embossing — a process that stiffens the surface of calfskin, making it resistant to scratches and moisture without betraying the structural softness of the leather underneath.
On a watch strap, this translates into something precise: a surface that doesn't absorb dirt, doesn't scratch at the first impact, and doesn't require daily attention. The green of this model isn't merely decorative — it's a color with character, working equally well on a neutral or colored dial, without asking for permission.
The tone-on-tone stitching maintains a clean geometry. The thin profile — 2.1 mm — fits even the narrowest lugs without adding unnecessary bulk to the wrist. Each strap is hand-finished in Italy, with the same care that the material, by its history, demands.

The cross-hatched grain is armour: it shrugs off scratches and rain where full-grain would mark. It changes little over time, and that's its virtue — wear it every day and it stays itself.

Changing your strap should be as simple as changing your shoes. With us, it is.
Every strap has integrated quick-release spring bars: swap it in one gesture, no tools, no risk of scratching the lugs. The same watch shifts mood with the moment.
Picked for you
Yes, we have the 20mm/16mm version. This means the lug width—the part that slides into the case—is 20mm, and the strap tapers to 16mm at the wrist. To verify your lugs, measure the distance between the case spring bars. That’s your lug width.
saffiano was invented precisely to brush off dirt. The cross-hatched embossing stiffens the surface and treats it with wax, so it doesn’t absorb stains like smooth leather. Clean with a soft dry cloth—if it’s dusty or sweaty, a lightly damp cloth is enough. It doesn’t need creams or ongoing maintenance. That’s the whole point.
The leather comes from the same Italian tanneries that wrote the saffiano playbook—it’s the material, not the name. What sets this apart is how we use it: thin profile (2.1mm), tone-matched stitching, hand-finished details, no compromises. If you want leather that doesn’t scratch and doesn’t demand care, you get it here without paying for the logo premium.
It’s built to not ask questions. It works on neutral dials—white, black, grey—because it doesn’t compete. But it also works on colored dials without creating conflict. It’s a green with character, not decoration. Imagine it on yours: the color doesn’t choose your watch, it belongs with it.
Yes, 2.1mm is thin, and it’s intentional. Most saffiano is thicker because it’s easier to work with. Here, the thin profile means it won’t bulk up your wrist—it wears like the watch case itself, not a strap on top of the case. You’ll feel the difference in how it fits.
