Di-Modell is a German company famous for its high standard of craftsmanship. Since 1978, they've set the industry standard for quality and attention to detail. Di-Modell watch straps are handmade in Germany from premium leathers.
Part of the Air-Ter-Mer Sport collection, the Chronissimo is one of Di-Modell's most famous straps. Rugged and bold, it is constructed from full grain, surprisingly soft, textured matte calfskin leather. Waterproof to 100m, it features Di-Modell's patented hypoallergenic Aero lining, as well as the company's signature red loop anchor protecting the keeper.
Wondering if the longevity of the Chronissimo holds up to its tough-as-nails appearance? One reviewer notes that his first Chronissimo "has been strapped to my kayak for 23 years, I just bought a new one, the old one was still going strong but I decided to replace it." Case closed.
After a bit of research trying to find the best strap option for the tricky SBDB001 with its odd lugs, this was commonly recommended. Very stiff and sturdy, so I would recommend attaching to a watch and then securing it to a watch cushion for a day or two to break in before attempting to wear. The quality is fantastic, and I’m confident this strap may outlive me, with proper care and consideration.
In had tried various straps but because of the eco drive’s size the watch looked ungainly.
The original rubber strap has a design that fits wider than the 20mm.
This strap is perfect, thick so hold watch secure and looks great in my opinion.
Fits perfectly to my watch. Very comfortable leather strap
