26mm Dark Blue Leather Watch Strap Silver thread Made in USA Panerai Kaventsmann

Up for sale is an all handmade 26mm dark blue leather watch strap, made by me (Mott Straps).  This strap is made from a great veg tan leather called Badalassi Carlo Pueblo from the Badalassi tannery in Italy.  Here’s what Rocky Mountain leather says about the leather:

This veg tan leather is their top grade, it is full grain and has a nice supple feel with a small amount of firmness. This leather has a unique rustic look that adds beautiful depth to the leather and makes for an amazing patina as it ages.

As they described, you’ll see some rustic features in this leather, which is the lightened area that’s interspersed throughout the strap.  This strap is soft to the touch and a medium firmness initially and will break in very easily with wear.  

This strap measures 26mm (no taper), 85 mm x 140 mm x ~5.0mm thick.   I saddle stitched this dark blue strap with silver Tiger thread - the best waxed polyester thread available.  Edges were burnished smooth.  The first hole is 50 mm from the lug end.   Extra holes can be punched upon request.  

The strap includes a custom Mott stainless steel pre-V style screw-in buckle, as shown.  I can swap out the buckle to a custom Mott screw-in bronze buckle at no charge.  Just let me know upon checkout.  

Sizing:  Watch straps that are over 4.5mm tend to wear a bit smaller than their dimensions, since most OEM straps are less than 4 mm thick.  If you’re on the fence, I suggest you go with a longer strap or reach out about a custom strap.
