Hirsch Modena dark brown 18mm — men's alligator-embossed calf strap

Modena 18 mm leather strap, a deep brown with alligator texture

The Hirsch Modena 18 mm in brown leather stands out — dark brown gives the Modena's alligator embossing a more discreet, almost tactile quality than black. On a two-tone semi-matte Italian calf surface, the colour deepens in the hollows of the pattern. In 18 mm, it is a leather of character for slim-lug dress watches.

The Softglove lining

Against the skin, the Hirsch Softglove lining stays supple. The medium curve follows the wrist for immediate comfort, with no breaking-in.

Stitching and buckle

The sport topstitching, contrasting and set into a heat-sealed edge, offsets the restraint of the brown. The Hirsch Classic steel buckle finishes it off. The tool-free Hirsch Quick Release spring-bar system lets you fit it yourself.
