Hirsch Duke Alligator-Grain Leather Watch Strap - Black
Quick-release spring bars for fast strap changes.
A semi-matte surface and defined alligator-style pattern give the Hirsch Duke in black a classic dress direction rooted in traditional embossed straps. The controlled scale layout frames silver or black dials with visible structure, and against polished steel cases the finish remains restrained rather than high gloss.
Material & feel
Duke is crafted from full grain Italian calfskin embossed with an alligator grain pattern that produces consistent scale definition across the strap. The leather maintains natural density beneath the embossing, offering moderate firmness with flexibility.
Light padding adds subtle body while keeping the strap balanced at the wrist. Folded edges create a clean perimeter, and the Softglove lining is hypoallergenic and smooth against the skin.

Sizing & fit help
This padded strap has more body than a slim dress strap, with a fuller shape near the case and less bulk toward the buckle. It suits watches that need more visual weight.
Length & wrist size:
- Regular: 120mm / 80mm (fits wrists approx. 6.75–7.75in)
- Short: 110mm / 70mm (fits wrists approx. 6.25–7.0in)
If your wrist sits near the overlap between sizes, either length can work. A shorter strap reduces tail and positions the buckle more tightly, while a longer strap provides more room and tail.
Measurements exclude the buckle.
Hirsch length labeling: M = Short and L = Regular on product packaging.

Care & wear
Splash resistant, suitable for light moisture such as hand washing or rain.
Clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning products, including leather cleaners. For heavier soiling, the strap may be briefly rinsed under running water. Avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to water. Dry with a soft cotton cloth or allow to air dry at room temperature. If the strap becomes damp from perspiration or heat, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth.
