Hirsch Grand Duke brown 22mm — men's alligator calf strap

Hirsch Grand Duke 22 mm, here on a sports watch with patinated dial

The Hirsch Grand Duke 22 mm in brown leather is pictured here on a sports watch whose aged dial pairs perfectly with the brown. The way the warm shade of the leather meets the faded tones of the dial illustrates the strap's dual purpose, at ease on a sports watch and on a dressy chronograph alike.

More generous than the Duke

The Grand Duke is the more generous, sporty take on the Duke — a model in its own right. Its alligator-embossed calf, with pronounced doming, gives it an assertive presence. In brown, it combines elegance and character, on a large-diameter width.

A waterproof leather

The Grand Duke is waterproof: it resists water and perspiration, versatile for everyday wear and for activity. The tool-free Hirsch Quick Release spring-bar system lets you fit it yourself, as a direct replacement on watches with a 22 mm lug width.

In the same spirit, the London black 22mm is worth a look.

For leather that shrugs off water, Arezzo's Explorer 22mm watch bracelet Arezzo beige calf Leather lines its calf with rubber.

In its dress form, it complements the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Converter, the Panerai Luminor Marina 42, the Bell & Ross BR V2-94, the Bremont Supermarine, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono or the Tudor 1926 41.

Pairing leather and watch takes a little method: our selection guide helps.
