Introducing the Ostrich Leg Leather Watch Strap; subtly padded (3.5mm at the lug end) for comfort and style, this Ostrich Leg watch strap is well suited to slim dress and vintage watches. Finished with cut and sealed edges for a guaranteed long service life, this Ostrich Leg Leather Watch Strap is available in two popular lug widths (19mm and 20mm) and comes in a choice of four timelessly stylish neutral colours.
Expertly handcrafted using the shin and calf of the Ostrich. Luxuriously soft yet durable, ostrich leather is known to be strong and supple for comfort that lasts. Our Ostrich Leg Leather Straps are made from genuine ostrich leather and are marked “Genuine” on the strap lining. We have also marked the underside of the strap with the WatchGecko logo so you can be assured that you are receiving an authentic WatchGecko product that has been meticulously handcrafted, passing several vital quality control checks before making its way to you.
