Wristwatches are an accessory that will never come out of fashion. With this practical decoration, you can transform the image, place accents in it, draw attention to certain details. Undoubtedly, the appearance of the case, the dial design, the quality of the mechanism itself and the beautiful strap with which the accessory is held on the wrist play an enormous role, is equally important. Metal, silicone, textiles, rubber, plastic, carbon - these materials are used by designers to produce straps, but leather is probably the most popular material. It can differ in appearance, way of processing, texture, shape and color.
Elite leather straps
The leather watchband is not only a practical accessory part, but also a way of self-expression of its owner. Women's wristwatches on the leather strap in one form indicate the woman's belonging to a particular social stratum. So, to produce the most affordable options, veal or pigskin leather is used, and if we are talking about the most luxurious straps, it is the skin of a python, a lizard, a crocodile, an ostrich or even a shark.
The python skin, from which the watchband is made, looks so noble that it will never come out of fashion. The high cost of accessories decorated with similar elements is explained not only by the fact that the python skin is exotic material. First, such leather straps for wrist watches practically do not change the appearance for several decades due to the presence of flakes adjacent to each other very tightly. Due to this, the strap does not wear out for a long time and is reliably protected from external influence. Skin moisture is not afraid of python, and any contamination is easily removed with a damp cloth. In addition, women's watches with a leather strap are absolutely exclusive, as the skin texture of each reptile is individual.
If you prefer to wear a watch on a long leather strap, then an excellent option is the crocodile skin. It is incredibly durable, and even the thinnest strap will last long. At the same time, the accessory part is distinguished by excellent flexibility, softness and elasticity. A beautiful pattern and an abundance of colors can always look great if your wrist is decorated with an accessory made from crocodile leather.
Diamond, steel, titanium - this list of the most durable materials can be made and the skin of the ramp, which is used for the manufacture of straps for women's and men's watches. Its density is so great that it is not a sharp knife, but a laser beam, used for cutting a wizard. A distinctive feature of skate skin is an unusual texture, manifested in small tubercles. It is worth noting that not always manufacturers leave the skate skin in its original form. But also with the polished tubercles the ladies watch on a wide or narrow leather strap looks luxuriously.
If the strength of the strap is not the main criterion in choosing a watch, it is worth taking a closer look at products made from ostrich leather. It is soft, very gentle, and the main difference is dark spots, which on one strap should be no less than five and not more than eight.
Popular types of leather straps
To buy a strap, the cost of which exceeds several hundred and even thousands of dollars, not every girl can. For this reason, the most popular are straps, for the production of which is used pig or calfskin. Thanks to modern technologies of tanning and coloring, the straps can have a wide variety of designs. Even a gold ladies watch with a leather strap made of inexpensive material looks great! However, pigs and calfskins have a significant drawback - with a daily toe, the strap should be changed every two to three years.
