Comfortably Classic

Trends may come and go, but a classic leather strap never goes out of style. Made from durable top-grain leather, this Apple Watch strap features natural finishes and rich texture. Avoiding the use of any corrected or artificial grain preserves the inherent beauty and strength of the natural hide, ensuring that your watch strap will only look better with age. It's refined enough for your fanciest affair and casual enough for everyday wear. Need we say more?

Each strap is carefully crafted with custom padding and a sleek, subtle taper along the length of the band, and we’ve lined the bottom of the strap with a layer of fine, silky suede. Just for that extra dose of comfort. Your wrist can thank us later.

Key Features

Optimized for Apple

With both large (44/45/46/49mm) and small (40/41/42mm) sizes, they'll fit every Apple Watch on the market: Series 1 - 11, Edition, SE, and Ultra 1, 2, and 3.*

*NOTE: Series 1-3 42mm uses the large (44/45/46/49mm) size and Series 1-3 38mm uses the small (40/41/42mm) size.

What's on the Inside Counts

Any watch strap will experience some wear and tear, especially around the spring bar area. We've added a protective plastic sheath around the spring bars to safeguard your strap from catastrophic failure.

Pro Stitch

Our stitching features a robust thread, embroidered in a clean, simple design. Choose from a natural off-white contrast stitch or matching thread.

Plush Padding

We use tasteful, subtle padding as an ode to traditional design. The gentle lift in the leather gives each strap a unique, organic charm.

Traditional Taper

The gentle taper thins gradually along the length of the strap and was designed with elegance and intent. It's one more nod to a timeless style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the strap lengths for each size?

40/41/42mm: Short side 80mm / Long side 115mm
44/45/46/49mm: Short side 80mm / Long side 120mm

Is this real leather?

Yes — our leather straps use genuine top grain leather, which is the most durable type of leather available. It's highly resistant to tearing and breaking down, and the natural finish develops a beautiful patina over time.

Can I get this leather strap wet?

We recommend avoiding prolonged water exposure with leather straps. For water activities, our silicone or nylon straps are a better fit.

How do I care for my leather strap?

To keep your leather strap looking great, periodically apply a small amount of leather conditioner and avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to water. That's really all you need to do.

What is a tapered strap?

Our leather straps are tapered, meaning they're wider at the lug end (where the strap meets the watch) and narrower at the buckle end. Specifically, they taper by 2mm — so an 18mm strap pairs with a 16mm buckle, a 20mm strap pairs with an 18mm buckle, and a 22mm strap pairs with a 20mm buckle.

What wrist sizes do your straps fit?

Most of our straps comfortably fit wrists from approximately 5.5" (14cm) to approximately 8" (20cm) in circumference, depending on the strap width and the size of your watch case. If you have a larger wrist, consider looking at our Custom Fit straps.

Do your straps contain PFAs ("forever chemicals")?

No. Our watch straps are free of PFAs and are made with high-quality, safe materials.

Which Apple Watch models are your straps compatible with?

Our Apple Watch straps are compatible with all Apple Watch models — from Series 1 through the latest Series, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Edition, and Apple Watch Ultra. Just make sure to choose the right size based on your watch's case size.

How do I know which size Apple Watch strap to order?

Check the case size of your Apple Watch by turning it over and looking at the back. You'll see small text engraved around the sensors that says something like "41mm" or "45mm."

*NOTE: Series 1-3 42mm uses the large (44/45/46/49mm) size and Series 1-3 38mm uses the small (40/41/42mm) size.

My Apple Watch adapter doesn't seem to fit correctly. What should I do?

If the adapter appears not to fit on one side, it may just be inserted upside down. The side with the silver-colored oval should face down, and the side with three black ovals should face up. Try flipping it and see if that solves the issue. If it still doesn't fit after that, reach out to us and we'll help you out.

Can I get a different buckle color than the one that came with my strap?

If you'd like a different color or finish buckle, we sell separate buckles in several colors and finishes that you can easily swap in. For 40/41/42mm Apple Watch straps, you'll need a 20mm buckle. For 44/45/46/49mm Apple Watch straps, you'll need a 22mm buckle.

Does this work with the Apple Watch Ultra?

Yes — the Apple Watch Ultra uses the larger strap size (44/45/46/49mm).

How do I attach the strap to my Apple Watch?

Slide the adapter into the slot on your Apple Watch until you hear a click. To remove it, press and hold the strap release button on the back of the watch and slide the band out.
