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.

Care & wear

Splash resistant, suitable for light moisture such as hand washing or rain.

Leather is a natural material and will change with wear over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, heat, and direct sunlight. If the strap becomes damp, remove it from the watch and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use heat sources to speed drying. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. When not in use, store the strap in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
