Why Ostrich Leather Watch Straps Are the Ultimate Statement of Luxury

When it comes to elevating the style of your favorite timepiece, nothing does the job quite like an ostrich leather watch strap. Known for its exotic pattern, soft texture, and incredible durability, this premium material is favored by luxury watch enthusiasts who appreciate craftsmanship and distinctiveness.

What Makes Ostrich Leather Unique?

Ostrich leather is instantly recognizable by its natural quill follicle pattern, which adds a unique texture that synthetic or cow leather simply cannot replicate. Each handmade ostrich watch strap features a distinct pattern, ensuring that no two straps are ever the same. This individuality is what makes the ostrich watch strap such a prized accessory in the world of horology.

Unmatched Durability and Comfort

Beyond its luxurious appearance, ostrich leather is known for its resilience. It’s naturally oil-rich, which makes it supple yet strong and resistant to cracking over time. This means your ostrich leather watch strap can last for years with proper care. It also becomes more comfortable with wear, conforming to your wrist for a tailored fit that enhances the wearing experience.

A Versatile Choice for All Occasions

Whether you’re attending a formal event or going about your daily routine, the ostrich watch strap seamlessly complements any outfit. Its sophisticated look pairs beautifully with both dress watches and casual timepieces, making it a versatile addition to your collection.

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.
