Why choose Italian leather in 21mm

A 20mm strap on a 21mm watch leaves a visible gap at the lugs; this one is cut to 21mm so it fills them properly. The Italian leather is soft from the start and develops a patina over time, and the leather lining keeps it comfortable for long wear. With six length combinations you can set the two halves to suit you, and the six buckle finishes cover polished or brushed steel, gold, rose gold, two-tone and black. For a 20mm alligator-grain option, see the alligator leather strap for Rolex.

How to fit it

1. Lay the watch face down on a soft cloth so the case and crystal are protected.
2. Use a spring bar tool to compress the spring bar at each lug and remove the current strap.
3. Seat a spring bar in each end of the new strap, place one tip in the lug hole, compress the other tip and let it click into place.
4. Pull gently on both sides to check it is locked in. Never open the case back: the strap attaches only at the lugs.
