Why Choose a Badalassi Carlo Minerva Box Genuine Leather Watch Strap - Dark Brown ?
Natural Grain & Unique Patina
Badalassi Carlo Minerva Box leather is a premium, vegetable-tanned Italian leather celebrated for its soft, supple feel and fine, natural grain. Produced by the esteemed Badalassi Carlo tannery, it is dyed through using rich, aniline colours that showcase the depth and beauty of the hide. This combination of pliability, durability, and refined texture makes Minerva Box an excellent choice for watch straps.
It conforms comfortably to the wrist from the first wear while retaining enough structure to maintain its shape over time. As it ages, Minerva Box develops a warm, glossy patina, giving each strap a unique character that reflects the wearer’s lifestyle, making it a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and longevity.
Zermatt Leather Imported From France
Zermatt leather is the ideal choice for watch strap linings, offering exceptional comfort, durability, and skin-friendliness. Specially developed for items worn against the skin, it’s chrome-free, hypoallergenic, and resistant to moisture, sweat, and oils—making it perfect for everyday wear.
Produced by the renowned Haas tannery in France, Zermatt combines a smooth, supple feel with outstanding resilience, ensuring the strap remains comfortable and intact over time. Its luxurious matte finish and high-performance qualities make it the go-to lining material for high-end watch straps that prioritise both function and refinement.
Construction & Style
Classic flat low-profile construction with a 4mm taper, it's thicker at the lugs and thinner at the bottom. This design looks best on slimmer watches, and the minimal stitching gives a simple appearance. The edges are painted to protect the leathe,r and the strap is fitted with a polished stainless steel buckle and has quick-release spring bars.
Quick-Release Convenience
With this watch strap, you can enjoy hassle-free strap changes with the integrated quick-release spring bars. These spring bars allow you to swap straps effortlessly and without tools.
If you prefer traditional spring bars, don't worry, the quick-release spring bars can be removed, and we have a guide and video that shows you how to do this.
