Each Ostend leather watch strap is a unique and timeless piece that has been meticulously crafted by hand at a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. Their experienced craftsmen dedicate a great deal of time to creating each watch strap, never compromising on quality and always striving to offer the best possible leathers.
To learn more about the craftsmanship behind this strap, click here.
This model is handmade from one of our favourite calf leathers which has been tanned with higher amounts of oil. This gives this leather strap an aged and earthy look that stands out from more traditional calf watch straps. The patina of the leather pairs beautifully with a vintage timepiece or racing-style chronograph, feeling luxuriously soft even when first worn.
This watch strap is designed to fit larger watches such as the Breitling Navitimer and is available in several lug widths. This watch strap tapers and features a robust stainless-steel buckle with a highly polished finish.
