Black Novonappa French Calfskin Apple Watch Strap
Our handcrafted Apple Watch straps made from French Novonappa (Barenia) Calfskin from Tannery Haas. The leather Novonappa comes from the French tannery Haas, and is used by many luxury brands for their leather watch straps. Novonappa was originally a saddlery leather which was used in bag-making by some popular brands. It is a combination tanned leather which means it is very soft, yet will develop a patina over time with wear.
This product is hand-stitched and handmade to order.
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.

Saddle Stitched by Hand
Using natural linen thread, we use the traditional saddle stitch method to hand stitch the strap. Unlike machine stitching (lock-stitch), saddle stitching creates a knot at every stitch to ensure greater durability.
316L Stainless Steel Hardware
Our Apple Watch straps are equipped with high-qualtiy 316L Stainless Steel buckles and adapters. We offer four colours (stainless steel, gold, rose gold and black PVD) to be a close match with your Apple watch. Our yellow gold hardware are customised to match with the light gold of the Series 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Smooth Edges Sealed with Edge Paint
Our edges are finished with multiple layers of edge paint to seal the raw edges from wear-and-tear. The edges are sanded and edge paint is applied. After the first layer of edge paint has dried, another round of sanding and another layer of edge paint is applied. This process repeats until the edge paint is smooth and uniform. We then apply a light layer of wax and polish the edges for a silky smooth finish.
