Hirsch Knight black 20mm — leather watch strap with white stitching

Watch strap 20mm black white stitching for a thick watch

The black 20mm Knight leather watch strap is a robust strap with contrasting white stitching, cut for thick watches and military-style cases. Black with white stitching is the sharpest contrast: this is the openly military version.

Large-scale alligator-embossed calf

The upper leather is a calf tanned with a large-scale alligator embossing. The pattern is crisp and even, and it lasts because it is pressed into the material rather than printed on it.

The Hirsch turned-edge method

The upper leather is bonded as one with the lining by the turned-edge method. The whole forms a single body: that is what makes the Knight so robust.

Thicker at the edges

The Knight is reinforced at the edges, more so than the Modena whose embossing it shares. That is what lets it carry a thick watch without hollowing between the lugs.

A waterproof lining

The Hirsch Oysterglove Supersoft lining is waterproof. It dries fast, is unaffected by sweat, and protects the embossed leather from below.

Our pairing suggestions

The full width is in our Hirsch straps 20mm. The other Knight: the Knight gold-brown 20mm. If the Knight is no longer available, the Hirsch Liberty black 20mm keeps the contrasting white stitching in saddle leather, and the Hirsch Heavy Calf black 20mm the thick body certified to 100 m. For the same alligator embossing in another width, the Hirsch Modena dark brown 18mm or the Hirsch Modena dark brown 22mm. In genuine alligator, the Hirsch Capitano alligator black 20mm. Our guide to choosing a watch strap compares embossed and genuine exotic.
