Hirsch Modena dark blue 22mm — men's alligator-embossed calf strap

Modena 22 mm men's leather strap in dark blue, for a large blue dial

The Hirsch Modena 22 mm in blue leather dark blue is made for large-diameter watches with a blue dial, common at Breitling and on sports chronographs. At 22 mm, its deep shade extends the dial without trying to copy it. The Italian calf's alligator embossing catches the light across this dense blue.

A dressier alternative to brown

Dark blue brings a modern touch, dressier than a classic havana. It answers blue dials, but works just as well with darker outfits. A way to step away from brown without falling back on black.

Hirsch craftsmanship in Austria

Made in Austria from a fine Italian calfskin, the Modena dark blue stays supple despite the width. The Softglove lining and the medium curve make it comfortable straight away. The contrasting sport topstitching set in a heat-sealed edge and the Hirsch Classic steel buckle refine the finish. The Hirsch Quick Release spring-bars fit without a tool.

Our pairing suggestions

Find our selection in the Hirsch 22 mm straps category.

The Grand Duke black 22mm is a fine alternative.

Here the embossing gives way to genuine crocodile: Arezzo's AREZZO SQUARE CROCODILE HONEY 22mm shows real large scales, a true step up.

It sits naturally on the Bell & Ross BR V2-94, the Bremont Supermarine, the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, the Tudor 1926 41, the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 or the Montblanc 1858.

Fitting and removal are explained in our guide to removing a watch strap.
