About The Leather

Crazy Horse leather is a type of full-grain leather known for its durability, unique ageing process, and vintage appearance. Despite its name, it’s not made from horse leather but typically from cowhide. The name "Crazy Horse" comes from its use in crafting horse saddles, which require strong, resilient leather. Crazy Horse leather is valued for both its toughness and the character it gains as it ages.

Produced from rich full-grain cowhide, natural wax is applied by experienced craftsmen to enhance the leather's look and feel producing sleek and polished leather. Crazy Horse leather has a unique and exotic appearance due to the way the leather responds to waxing and is also known to be water-resistant. It is well-known to provide a timeless vintage look adding style to your wrist.

Timeless Style and Craftsmanship

Every detail of the Cambridge is the result of careful design and expert workmanship. From the precise stitching to the smooth, hand-finished edges, the quality is evident the moment you pick it up.

The understated WatchGecko logo embossed inside provides a subtle mark of authenticity, reinforcing that this strap was created with the same care and attention as the watches it’s designed to complement. Its refined style ensures it pairs effortlessly with both modern and vintage timepieces, making it a versatile addition to any collection.

Rugged Durability

Durability is at the heart of the Cambridge’s design. Strong stitching reinforces the leather against everyday stresses. Edges are painted to resist moisture and wear, while sturdy stainless-steel hardware ensures a secure fit in every situation.

This is a strap made to handle real life - the occasional rain shower, long commutes, busy days, and weekend adventures. It balances the tactile luxury of genuine leather with a build that can stand up to daily challenges, giving you a strap that works as hard as it looks good.

Genuine Leather

Made from carefully selected Crazy Horse pull-up leather, the Cambridge strap offers more than just premium quality - it offers individuality. This type of leather is prized for the way it transforms with age, developing a rich patina and unique markings that tell the story of your daily wear.

Over time, the strap softens and becomes increasingly comfortable, moulding naturally to your wrist. Each one develops a finish that’s entirely personal, ensuring that no two Cambridge straps ever look the same. With every passing week, it becomes less a strap you own and more a strap that belongs to you.

Inspired by Tradition

The Cambridge design is a direct nod to the heritage of British military watch straps, reimagined in high-quality leather. Its simple, functional silhouette has its roots in practicality - designed for soldiers who needed reliability above all else.

By drawing on this history, the Cambridge strap brings an understated confidence to your watch. It’s a design that connects you to the past while remaining completely relevant in the modern day, lending any timepiece a subtle but purposeful character.

Versatile Daily Companion

The Cambridge doesn’t just look the part - it’s a strap that adapts to your lifestyle. Its military inspiration gives it rugged confidence for casual or outdoor wear, while the smooth leather finish makes it refined enough for formal occasions.

Comfortable from day one and designed to improve with age, it’s a strap you’ll reach for time and again, whatever the day brings. In short, the Cambridge isn’t just an accessory for your watch - it’s a dependable companion for every setting.
