ColaReb Melbourne Ostrich Watch Strap - Chestnut
Genuine ostrich leather with contrast stitching and quick-release spring bars.
The Melbourne is defined by the raised quill pattern that comes with genuine ostrich leather. Each section shows a slightly different arrangement of these marks, so the surface avoids a uniform look. Off-white stitching runs along the edges and stands out against the warm tone of the leather. Melbourne works easily with both dress watches and sport cases. Made in Italy, it follows a traditional leatherworking approach.
Material & feel
The strap is made from genuine ostrich leather, a material known for its natural quill pattern and irregular grain. The leather has a soft, flexible feel while maintaining enough structure to hold its shape during wear. The underside is lined with calfskin leather that is breathable and hypoallergenic for direct skin contact. Integrated quick-release spring bars allow for tool-free changes.

Wear & care
Splash only, avoid soaking and prolonged water exposure.
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid leather cleaners or conditioners, which may darken or affect the grain. Keep away from prolonged moisture and direct sunlight. If damp, dry with a soft cloth and allow to air dry fully.
