Custom apricot for the 44KS

The tones here come from patience. Hours of dilute dye baths in yellows and browns, layered until the colour settles into a watercolour softness.

Black suede for the Sinn 356

The Sinn 356 is a pilot’s chronograph built with German pragmatism and reliability. Paired with a black suede pilot strap, its matte texture plays perfectly against the bead-blasted case.

Dark Olive leather for the Seiko 6309

I’ve always loved the wild strap culture that surrounds Panerai — thick, handmade leather builds with serious presence. It’s a rabbit hole I’ve spent years in.

Postwar precision

This custom-dyed Saddle brown kangaroo strap was built for my 1950s Juvenia chronograph. It’s a watch from an era when patience wasn’t optional, and detail wasn’t negotiable.

Turquoise Pilot for the Sinn 356

This Sinn 356 is every bit the no-nonsense tool watch - but who says it can’t also be fun?

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.

Green OP meets the white kangaroo

Bold up front, but for this strap the real flex is on the inside

It’s been busy.
