Di-Modell Chronissimo Leather Watch Strap

I paired this with my Orient Ray 2. It’s an outstanding combination. It’s stiff when new and it takes some patience to get it broken in.

It’s a bit pricey but a good replacement for the rubber OEM that comes with the Ray 2 and a welcome change from a NATO.

Fantastic quality strap bought for my Glycine Airman. Leather feels luxurious and looks are killer!

this watch with the di-modell band, 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.

As soon as I opened the package, I observed the obvious quality of the band. The leather was nicely tanned, the padded areas were substantial and well defined and the stitching was strong and bold. The under side of the band is properly finished. No lining or synthetic, but the leather was well manicured to avoid the roughness you find in bands of a less expensive price point. The band is a bit stiff and will take some time to break in fully, but this is to be expected. I like the retention ribbon that secures the floating loop. I was unsure about the two “tab” design pieces that sit closest to the watch on either side. I think I would still prefer it without that design element, but it has grown on me quite a bit and would still purchase it again. I agree with the reviewer that commented on the companies recommendation to change the band in 6 months. I don’t see that being necessary. It will just be fully broken in after 6 mos, but I don’t wear this watch every day. For context, I have the strap on the new Longines Ultra-Chron reissue. Perfect accent! Buy with confidence….it’s worth the money!

This is the absolute best leather strap I have seen so far. Using it heavy with my Ball Roadmaster GMT as I could not get the perfect size with the bracelet. This strap is adapting masterfully to my wrist. I have noticed that the inner leather-cover have started to loosen from the next layer were I habe given it most tear & wear. I will glue it back together, but it is room for improvement from D1 there. Otherwise very pleased. I am currently waiting for a D1 pilot strap for one of my other watches😊

Best leather strap I have found! Usually wear a NATO or stainless steel bracelet but the Di-Modell Chronissimo Black with Red Stitch Leather is top shelf all the way!

This strap has become my favorite. Very comfortable from the moment I put it on! Fast shipping and great product. What more could you ask for?

Love this strap. Quality and very comfortable. I had my eye on this strap for a while. Just had to find the right watch.

Craftsmanship of this watch band is exactly what I thought it would be, darn near perfect. The leather is tough, but subtle, the stitching matches the second hand dial on my marathon watch just like I planned.

I am very pleased with the overall appearance of my watch, and it's all because of the bands quality.

I will definitely buy another when necessary.

I have not gotten my band wet just yet, but as a wildlife photographer, I'm sure it will happen.

Pictured with the band is my Marathon aviator and paratrooper watch. The watch now looks great and more expensive than it was.

Buy the band, it is well made and worth the extra expense.

I love these straps. This one is my second, and it pairs perfectly with My Hanhart Pioneer One. As always, the service from Holben's was outstanding.
