Russian Calf Leather Watch Strap 20mm Hand-Stitched

Order via Japan Rabbit

Upgrade your timepiece with this fully hand-stitched 20mm leather watch strap, crafted from materials sourced from renowned tanneries. The front features rich burgundy Russian calf leather from J&F J. Baker, prized for its fine diagonal grain, exceptional durability, and the beautiful patina it develops with use. The inside is lined with Zermatt leather from Degermann, a top-tier calfskin valued as a lining material for its water resistance and anti-allergic properties.

Every detail reflects careful artisan work, from the natural linen stitching to the black edge paint by Fenice, a pigment also used by many top luxury houses for its clean finish and long-lasting durability.

Rather than the classic D-shaped buckle seen on most leather straps, this piece uses a squared "nichi-gata" buckle. It takes over the role usually played by a fixed keeper loop, so one loop is removed for a cleaner, more modern line. The design is built to work with both standard watch cases and Apple Watch models; on regular watches, you may notice a bit of extra play, but it won't affect wear.

This piece is listed as secondhand, but it is in unused, brand new condition.

Details

Hand-stitched 20 mm leather watch strap made with premium materials. The burgundy top leather is Russian Calf by J&F J. Baker, featuring a fine diagonal grain and developing a natural sheen and richer character with use. The lining is water-resistant, allergy-resistant Zermatt calf leather by Degermann.

Finished with natural linen stitching, black Fenice edge paint, and a square buckle that creates a clean, modern look with one less keeper loop. Designed for use with Apple Watch; when fitted to standard watches, slight play may occur but does not affect use.

Made entirely by hand from natural leather, so minor scratches, wrinkles, and individual variations may be present. Color transfer may occur with strong friction or exposure to water.
