Gray Ostrich Strap
SKU: 401-LT-GRY-18-ST
Ostrich leather is not chosen to impress. It is chosen because nothing else has that texture — the quills emerging from the surface, irregular and precise at the same time, transform each strap into a unique piece. No two skins are identical. No two pieces are identical.
The gray of this strap is neutral without being anonymous. It keeps pace with classic and contemporary dials, without overpowering them. Italian tanning gives the leather immediate softness — no breaking-in needed — but its character consolidates over time, bearing traces of use as marks of belonging.
Crafted in Italy by artisans who have known ostrich leather for generations. The profile tapers towards the buckle, following the geometry of the wrist without forcing it. Color variations between individual pieces are not defects: they are the material's signature.

The quills that make it unique.
Its raised follicles are never two alike: you recognise it at a glance. Soft and resilient at once, with natural oils it stays supple and gains sheen where the wrist works it.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes are available for this strap?
I offer six widths: 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 24 mm. The first four have a 16 mm lug width, while the last two have 18 and 20 mm. Please let me know the model and I will confirm the correct one for you.
Does it need to be broken in before wearing it?
No. The Italian tanning process makes the leather soft right from the start. The character develops later, with use: this is normal and part of the ostrich leather's nature.
Is the colour I receive identical to the one in the photo?
Not exactly, and let me explain why: each ostrich hide has its own quill pattern, distributed differently. The grey remains neutral, but slight variations between one piece and another are always present. This is not a flaw, it is simply the nature of the leather.
How does it behave near the buckle?
The profile tapers as it approaches the buckle. It follows the wrist without tightening, with no edges that can be felt.
Is it suitable for an Apple Watch?
Yes, among the sizes I have in the catalogue you will find one compatible with the Apple Watch. Please let me know which case you have and I will indicate the correct width for you.
