18mm Crocodile Watch Strap Bordeaux CLASSICO AREZZO

The 18mm bordeaux crocodile strap steps outside black and brown

Bordeaux is the least common shade in the crocodile range, and the most interesting on a dress watch. Drum dyeing varies the intensity from one scale to the next: deep, almost brown on the raised parts, brighter in the hollows. The glossy finish widens the gap further.

Which watches take 18mm

Hamilton Intra-Matic 34, Nomos Orion 35, Hamilton American Classic Boulton, vintage Omega De Ville. Bordeaux calls for a restrained dial — cream, silvered or black — that lets it speak. On a gold case the match is immediate.

Genuine crocodile, rolled edge

Real scales, vegetable tanning, skin supplied under CITES certificate and worked in Tuscany. The edge is folded and stitched inwards, which removes any ridge against the wrist. Light dome, 4 mm thick, hypoallergenic leather lining.
