Colour #8 Horween Shell Cordovan Leather Watch Strap
Shell Cordovan Watch strap in Colour 8 from the renowned tannery Horween in Chicago, USA. Shell cordovan comes from the rump of a horse and is a dense membrane known for being durable and crease-resistant.
It has light waxy appearance and will slowly develop a patina from wear. Shell Cordovan begins as a highly shiny leather and over time loses the sheen to reveal its rich grain.
This product is hand-stitched and handmade to order.
We are able to make this strap in any size you are after. For apple watches, please state that you need a strap for the apple watch and the size and colour of the watch.
We line our straps using a hypoallergenic and water-resistant leather called Zermatt. This leather does not stain like suede-like leathers used to line straps by some OEMs.
The sizing is in the format as follows: (LUG WIDTH/BUCKLE WIDTH)
- The lug width refers to the width of the strap at the lugs (where it connects to the watch).
- The buckle width refers to the width of the strap at the buckle or clasp.
For the strap length:
- Short: 105mm/70mm will suit a 145 mm - 167.5 mm wrist size. (5.7 - 6.7 inches)
- Standard: 115mm/75mm will suit a 162.5mm - 182.5mm wrist size. (6.4 - 7.1 inches)
- Long: 125mm/80mm will suit a 182.5 mm - 212.5 mm wrist size. (7.1 - 8.2 inches)

With our leather straps, we recommend avoiding prolonged contact with, and submerging the strap in water. While our leathers may have strong water resistance on the surface, water may seep through the core of the strap through the stitching holes causing damage. As a result, we strongly recommend avoiding getting our leather straps wet.

Meticulously Made, Finely Finished
Each of our watch straps is meticulously handcrafted using traditional leatherworking techniques. From precise cutting and saddle stitching to hand-painted edges, every detail is crafted to ensure exceptional durability and a unique patina that enhances with wear. Our straps are lined with Zermatt leather, a premium French calf leather renowned for its hypoallergenic properties and water resistance. As we use only full-grain leathers, the natural variations and distinct characteristics of the material will be evident, making each strap truly one of a kind.
Hypoallergenic Calfskin Lining
In order to provide a luxurious feel, the straps are lined with Zermatt calfskin leather from Tannery HAAS. This premium material is specially developed for use as a lining material and offers exceptional softness and comfort. It is also water and sweat-resistant, making it ideal for use in hot and humid climates.
Fine Hand Stitching
Our made-to-order straps showcase a fine hand-stitching density of 1.93mm. The combination of linen thread with fine hand-stitching makes for a very refined strap.
Strap Thickness
Our standard unpadded strap thickness is 2.2mm and padded strap thickness tapers from 4.5mm to 2.2mm. We are able to customise the thickness of the strap accordingly.
316L Stainless Steel Buckle
Our straps comes installed with a 316L stainless steel buckle which is engraved with our Artisan Straps logo. This buckle comes with drilled lug holes allowing for easy removal without damaging the strap.
Spring Bars
Choose between regular spring bars, quick-release spring bars or no spring bars. While quick-release spring bars are our preference as we love to change straps, we also understand it's not everyones cup of tea!
Smooth & Polished Edges
The edges of our straps are finished with Italian edge paint - sealing the raw edges from wear and tear. With over 5 layers of edge paint applied and rigorous sanding in between, our straps exhibit a beautiful smooth edge.
