Description
Black calfskin leather embossed with a buffalo-grain pattern gives this strap the bold, textured look of exotic hide without sacrificing the suppleness of calf leather. The matte finish keeps the surface understated, letting the watch case and dial remain the focal point.
A gold-tone aluminum buckle brings a single warm accent to the otherwise all-black strap, pairing naturally with gold-tone cases and crown hardware. Stainless steel accents reinforce the build at the points that take the most daily stress, and the long cut accommodates a wider range of wrist sizes with ease.

How do I choose the right watch band width?
Match the band width to the gap between your watch lugs. Widths on this page are listed in millimeters, such as 12mm, 18mm, or 20mm. Measure the space between the lugs on your watch, then pick the same size. If you are unsure, contact our jewelers.
Leather, metal, or silicone: which watch band suits what?
Leather suits dressy and daily wear, metal suits a polished look, silicone suits active days. Leather bands here include smooth, crocodile-grain, and calfskin finishes. Stainless steel comes in mesh and link styles, and silicone rubber is an easy pick for sport or water.
What does a deployment band mean?
A deployment band fastens with a folding clasp instead of a pin buckle. The band stays closed in a loop and opens at the clasp, which makes putting the watch on and taking it off simple. You will see this clasp on several stainless steel link and mesh styles here.
How do I care for a leather watch band?
Keep leather dry and wipe it with a soft cloth. Water, sweat, and heat can wear leather faster, so rotate bands if you wear one daily. Store it flat away from direct sun. See our jewelry care page for more tips.
What affects the price of watch bands?
Material, finish, and size drive the price most. Leather type and grain, stainless steel versus gold-plated or IP-plated metal, buckle finish, width, and length all play a part. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.
Which watch band styles are most popular?
Smooth black and brown leather bands lead the list. Many have gold-tone or silver-tone buckles, in narrow to mid widths. Crocodile-grain leather, Milanese mesh, and Jubilee-style stainless steel bands also appear near the top, along with a few silicone and nylon options.
