22mm Crackled Leather Watch Strap Buffalo AREZZO CRACKLE

The crackling is a treatment, not wear

The surface of the Crackle is deliberately crackled after tanning, along the full length of the strap. It is neither a flaw nor simulated wear: it is a finishing process applied to an already tanned buffalo hide, which opens the grain and creates a network of irregular lines.

No two straps alike

Leather being a natural product, the network of cracks never repeats identically and slight colour variations appear from one piece to the next. That is the direct consequence of the process, and also what no industrial production sets out to reproduce.

A frankly military register

The Crackle addresses military watches and wide cases: 22 mm gives it the area it needs for the crackling to genuinely read. On a dress watch it would be out of place. It is shown on a Panerai, by way of illustration.

Brushed stainless buckle, Italian tanning

Layered buffalo hide tanned in the Arezzo workshops in Italy. Brushed stainless buckle included and removable.
