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

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.
| Lug Width | 19mm | 20mm |
| Buckle Size | 16mm | 16mm |
Ostrich leg leather is renowned for its exceptional durability, flexibility, and supple texture. Naturally enriched with oils, this leather is highly resistant to high temperatures and prolonged sun exposure, maintaining its quality and appearance over time. While crafting straps from ostrich leg leather can be more intricate and costly compared to calf leather, the unique qualities and luxurious feel make it a distinctive choice for those seeking something truly special in watch straps.
If you’re looking for a leather strap that has been meticulously crafted with unparalleled quality, why not check out our premium leather strap collection? Featuring our most exclusive designs and finest materials, the premium leather collection is a superior option for those looking for a luxuriously comfortable and sophisticated leather strap that perfectly complements their favourite high-end luxury watch.
