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

Grand Duke XL 22 mm men's strap for a strong wrist

The Hirsch Grand Duke 22 mm, a leather strap, this Grand Duke black XL 22 mm meets two needs at once: the width of large-diameter watches and the length for strong wrists. The leather, the waterproof alligator embossing and the red stitching are those of the standard model; only the length increases, with no extension.

Sport and water resistance

The more generous, sporty take on the Duke, the Grand Duke is waterproof and shrugs off water and perspiration. The pronounced doming keeps its presence on a large wrist.
