Size Guide
The ‘lug width’ is simply the internal width measured between the lugs (where the watch strap fits) of the watch.
Introducing the Vector-X1 Astico – a refined watch strap crafted from richly textured Astico leather, combining modern, aviation-inspired styling with a premium, considered finish.
The outer layer is made from Astico leather, selected for its distinctive texture and characterful appearance. Its natural surface gives the strap depth and individuality, while a smooth calf leather lining provides a soft, comfortable feel against the wrist for all-day wear.
A defining detail of the Vector-X1 Astico is its contrast stitching. Clean white stitching runs the length of the strap, while a single accent stitch in safety orange at the lugs provides a subtle nod to aviation instrumentation – adding a carefully considered flash of colour without overpowering the design.
Fitted with a stainless steel folding buckle, the Vector-X1 Astico offers a secure, streamlined closure while helping to reduce repeated wear to the leather. Its polished finish provides a crisp contrast against the textured upper, balancing technical influence with refined finishing.
The cut edges are neatly sealed and finished with coloured edge paint, complementing the leather and giving the strap a clean, considered profile. At 4.5mm tapering to 3mm, it maintains a reassuring presence on the wrist without feeling bulky.
Designed for adaptability, the strap measures 110/90mm as standard, with the folding clasp allowing adjustment down to approximately 110/50mm, making it suitable for a wide range of wrist sizes.
