Why Ostrich Leather Watch Straps Are the Ultimate Luxury for Timepiece Lovers

Keywords: ostrich leather watch strap, ostrich watch strap, ostrich watch band, handmade ostrich watch strap

When it comes to upgrading your timepiece, few choices rival the elegance and exotic appeal of an ostrich leather watch strap. Known for its distinctive pattern of raised quill follicles and luxurious texture, ostrich watch straps have become a favorite among watch enthusiasts who appreciate premium materials and handmade craftsmanship.

What Makes Ostrich Leather So Special?

Ostrich leather is prized for its unique texture, softness, and durability. Unlike cowhide, ostrich skin features a natural pattern of quill bumps that give each strap a one-of-a-kind appearance. This luxurious material is highly breathable and ages beautifully, developing a rich patina over time. These characteristics make the ostrich watch strap both a fashion statement and a practical investment.

Benefits of Choosing an Ostrich Watch Band

  • Unique Pattern: No two ostrich straps are identical, offering true exclusivity.
  • Durability: Ostrich leather is resistant to cracking and stretching, even with daily wear.
  • Comfort: Its breathable nature ensures comfort for long hours of wear.
  • Luxury Appeal: Often associated with high-end fashion, ostrich leather instantly elevates any watch.

The Appeal of Handmade Ostrich Watch Straps

If you’re after the perfect blend of craftsmanship and character, consider investing in a handmade ostrich watch strap. Artisans take great care in selecting the finest ostrich hides, hand-cutting and stitching each strap to ensure precision and durability. A handmade ostrich leather watch strap not only complements your watch but also tells a story of artisanal dedication and quality.

How to Style an Ostrich Leather Watch Strap

The versatility of an handmade ostrich watch strap makes it ideal for both formal and casual occasions. Pair it with a classic dress watch for a refined look or attach it to a sporty timepiece for a touch of sophistication. With various shades available—from natural tan and deep brown to jet black and navy—you can find a color that suits your personal style.

Care Tips for Your Ostrich Watch Strap

  • Keep your strap away from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
  • Clean it with a soft dry cloth—avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Rotate straps if possible to extend their lifespan.

Is the Ostrich Watch Band Worth It?

If you value both aesthetics and quality, the answer is a resounding yes. An ostrich leather watch strap is an investment in craftsmanship, luxury, and long-term wear. Its exotic look and superior comfort make it a standout choice in a market filled with generic options.

What size should I get for my strap?

One of the fears of buying straps online is that you might not know if the strap is of the correct length to suit your wrist. We hope that by the time you are done reading this page, you will know what size you should get. There are two methods that we will run through:

  1. Method 1 – Measure your current strap
  2. Method 2 – Not-So-Quick Math
Size Chart
 

Method 1 – Measure your current strap

This method is the quickest way to know what size to order, but it might not be very precise. What you will need is an existing two-piece strap on your watch. It does not have to be a leather strap.

  1. Measure the length of the long and short piece of the strap. (Example: 105mm on the long strap, and 80mm on the short strap)
  2. Choose the size with the following size chart – the closest to the total length of your existing straps. (The closest size in this example would be M (115mm + 70mm = 185mm)
  3. Note that this is still an approximation, and you should adjust accordingly if your current strap does not fit your wrist perfectly.

Method 2 – Measure your wrist size

If your cannot measure your current strap for some reasons, you would need to measure your wrist size and purchase the strap size according to the guidelines below. If you are between sizes (for e.g. wrist size of 16.7cm), we recommend to size up.

Step 1: Measure your wirst with the rope:

Step 2:Measure the rope length with the ruler:

And then following the size chart below to know your strap length:

Find Your Watch Strap Lug Width

If you’re looking to purchase a strap for your watch, you will need to know the lug width of your watch. Lug width refers to “A” in this schematic below.

There are two ways to find out the lug width of your watch.

  1. Firstly, you can Google “<watch brand and model> lug width” and see if there is an answer from the brand’s website, or some other websites.
  2. Alternatively, you can simply take a ruler and measure the lug width directly on your watch.

Lug widths are typically in whole numbers, and while the most common lug widths are between 18-22mm, they can go down to 8mm or up to 32mm even. Our ready stock straps are available in 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. If you need other lug widths, you can have it custom made.

You will then need to purchase a strap of the same lug width. For example, if your watch has a lug width of 20mm, you will need to purchase strap with a width of 20-16.

Note: Our Widths typically have two numbers, for example 20-16. The first number (20) refers to the lug width (“A” in the schematic above). The second number (16) refers to the buckle width (“B” in the schematic above). You just need to ensure that the first number matches the lug width of your watch.
