Size Guide
The ‘lug width’ is simply the internal width measured between the lugs (where the watch strap fits) of the watch.
Inspired by a distinctive mesh style that emerged during the 1970s, the Fresco Classic Mesh Watch Strap brings a vintage design back to the wrist with modern materials and everyday practicality.
Its fine mesh construction creates a slim, refined profile that feels particularly at home on vintage and vintage-inspired watches. At just 2.2mm thick, Fresco has enough substance to feel reassuring on the wrist while remaining slim and comfortable enough to slip easily beneath a shirt cuff.
Fresco is made from 316L stainless steel, chosen for its excellent durability and resistance to corrosion. Weighing approximately 46g, the bracelet balances a reassuring metal construction with comfortable everyday wear. A subtle taper towards the clasp gives Fresco an elegant profile, helping it complement smaller cases and slimmer watch designs without overpowering them.
A comfortable bracelet starts with the right fit. The Fresco features a sliding adjustment system, allowing you to alter the length without removing links or reaching for a watch tool. Precision-machined locking notches underneath the mesh provide 3.5mm adjustment increments, helping you find a secure and precise fit. Once adjusted, the clasp locks firmly into position for confidence throughout the day. With an adjustable range of approximately 136mm to 175mm, Fresco offers plenty of flexibility across a range of wrist sizes.
Fresco's slim proportions and distinctive mesh construction naturally complement the smaller cases and narrower lugs commonly found on vintage watches. But you don't need a vintage watch to wear one. Its understated design can bring vintage character to a modern watch, making it an easy way to completely change how a familiar piece looks and wears. Fitted with quick-release spring bars, switching to Fresco is simple too - giving an old favourite a fresh look without the need for tools. If you need to remove the quick-release spring bars then you can learn how to easily remove quick-release spring bars in our video.
Fresco is available in classic stainless steel or PVD gold, giving you the option to coordinate the bracelet with different watch cases and finishes. Available in 19mm and 20mm lug widths, both versions taper to 16mm at the clasp for a balanced, refined appearance around the wrist.
