Size Guide
The ‘lug width’ is simply the internal width measured between the lugs (where the watch strap fits) of the watch.

The Genuine Horween Chromexcel® Watch Strap is produced from premium Horween Chromexcel® leather , creating an incredibly supple and tactile strap that achieves the perfect vintage look without fragility. Characterised by rich pull-up and hand-rubbed finishes, this strap will naturally patina as time goes on, allowing the leather's natural characteristics to shine through.
The Genuine Horween Chromexcel® Watch Strap is the perfect choice for those looking for a premium modern strap with authentic vintage charm. Presented with a classic flat design (tapering from 2.6mm to 3.5mm at the lug end), the Genuine Horween Chromexcel® Strap is finished with a superior stainless-steel buckle that has been meticulously polished for a sophisticated final look and etched with the WatchGecko logo. Its flat construction makes it the perfect accessory for your slim dress and vintage watches.
This artisanal strap showcases meticulous hand-stitching, which has been completed with distinctive contrasting colours and a cut edge that has been sealed with colour-matched paint. This process not only gives a seamless finish but helps to prevent moisture and improve durability.

About Genuine Horween Leather
This strap is produced from Horween Chromexcel leather, which is traditionally manufactured in the US. Characterised by rich pull-up and hand-rubbed finishes, this old-world craftsmanship has been passed down through generations and is renowned for producing exceptional quality leathers that withstand the test of time. This combination-tanned leather undergoes a lengthy 89-step process, which involves “hot stuffing”, which sees the leather saturated with a variety of oils, greases and waxes that result in supple, rich-in-colour leather that is widely used for high-end leather goods. Thanks to this process, you can see the oils and waxes moving around the leather for an authentic aged look.
