Beautiful strap! Very comfortable and could easily pass for leather. Stainless steel buckle. The non-tapering width and oblong adjustment holes give the strap a great, sporty look that perfectly complements my Tissot Seastar (see photos).
As always, Holben's is THE BEST!!!
It looks great on my Hamilton Mechanical watch, and is very comfortable. Also, great customer service on this site!
Bought this band to replace the metal strap on my Timex Waterbury Reissue - this is a really nice thick and smooth leather band, I would guess it would cost at like $75 - great affordable price for a luxury leather band
So "apple peel" seemed like a far-left-field leather alternative, but I liked the clean finish and decided to take a chance on it. I'm really digging how flexible it is, how it feels on the wrist, and how durable it seems. Of course, the real test will be how long it lasts without cracking/peeling/flaking/whatever, but so far this material is holding up nicely and looking good at the same time.
The strap is beautiful and of high quality. Looks great on my Nomos.
