Whether you like to walk on the beach or under the rain, we recommend you to choose water-resistant leathers for your straps. Our wide collection of leathers allow us to find the strap that will match your tastes and needs. 

Water-resistant alligator, shark or rubberized calf will be your new references in term of leathers if you're not afraid to get wet !

For a 100% waterproof strap that you can use daily to swim and dive, prefer a strap in rubber. But for occasional swims or residents of tropical regions the choice is wider ! Here are some ideas for your made to measure straps :

A colorful and original strap : Shark.

A very pleasant grain with a texture that will bring an amazing contrast of colors ! Be careful : If it's specified that the leather is "nubucked", then it won't be water-resistant.

 

Fashionable and timeless strap : Water-resistant alligator. 

Unlike the shark, the alligator leather is not water-resistant by nature. A special tanning is applied to it to make the surface water-resistant.

You'll find classic and timeless colors of leathers that you'll be able to combine with a contrasted stitching.

A sporty look : rubberized calf.

With the different colors in store you'll be able to make a sober yet very sporty strap which characteristics will be close to a rubber strap.

TIPS

For those straps, make sure to choose a rubberized calf in lining : We don't always think about it but it's very important that the lining of your strap is as water-resistant as the leather on top. Otherwise you won't be able to go for a swim !

 

We recommend you to wash out your strap (and your watch) with clear water after every swim. Indeed, even if the leather is water-resistant, it won't be resistant to the salt or chlorine.

So go head, try our customizer and make your bespoke summer strap.
