Hirsch George black 22mm — men's sport strap, alligator-grain calf with rubber core

The George black in 22 mm, for large cases

The leather George 22 mm strap stands out — the George is aimed at large-diameter watches and chronographs. The deep black of the Toscana calfskin, its very natural alligator grain and semi-matte surface make it a sporty classic. A generous width, cut for imposing dials.

Wearing comfort and rubber core

The Hirsch Premium Rubber core brings suppleness and hold. The strap follows the wrist and keeps its shape hour after hour. The accentuated contrasting stitching and exposed edge reinforce its character.

Water resistance and Quick Release fitting

Made in Austria, the George carries a chequered rubber lining that wicks perspiration: it is waterproof. The automatic Hirsch Quick Release spring bars replace the original strap on 22 mm lug widths, without a tool.
