The 20mm waterproof watch strap Explorer black is built in layered leather, semi-matt calf surface, with a black natural rubber lining, stitched all round, that cannot rot. Thickness of 3.5 to 4 mm at the lugs. Standard length 190 mm. Marine stainless buckle 18 mm included and removable, compatible with an 18 mm deployant clasp as an option.
The difference lies in the construction, not in a surface coating. The Explorer is built in layers, with a black natural rubber lining that cannot rot: the lining takes the moisture, not the leather. The lining is stitched all round as well as bonded, so it does not part from the leather over repeated soakings. A merely waxed leather eventually swells and then stiffens; this one does not move.
Hiking, sailing, site work, anything outdoors: these are the uses that finish off an ordinary leather strap in a season. The Explorer is the one leather in the collection you can wear without thinking about it.
Our workshop shots show it fitted to an Omega Speedmaster. It sits equally well on a Rolex Submariner 41, a Tudor Black Bay 41, a Sinn 104, a Seiko SPB143 or a Longines Legend Diver.
