Ice blue ostrich for the Breitling Navitimer B19 Perpetual Calendar

Typically this kind of dial would warrant a custom dye like i’ve done in the past, but this pre-dyed Ice blue ostrich leg was the perfect match already.

Distressed Chocolate brown for the Seiko 6309

I spent a few mornings wandering the markets in Siem Reap with the Nikon F, and naturally, the 6309 came along too. A 22/20mm, raw-edged strap felt like the obvious choice for the setting.

Karung snake skin for the 1803/9

Custom Black calfskin for Ferrari watch

That’s what makes projects like this so rewarding. This Ferrari diver is a sentimental piece for its owner, and it deserved to be wearable again.

Pull-up cowhide for the Omega Speedmaster

This olive cowhide is a new find, and “pull-up” leather is something I’ve wanted to experiment with for a long time.

Whiskey tan for the Seiko 6309

What started as the tan leather in my vintage collection ended up becoming something entirely different.

Charcoal Ostrich Nubuck for the Speedmaster

There’s a common misconception that exotic leathers like ostrich are mostly for delicate dress straps — fancy, and therefore potentially fragile.

Dialed-in Detail for the Omega Speedmaster

A custom brown kangaroo strap that channels the same focus and refinement found in performance cockpits: clean lines, high contrast, and confident precision.
