Product description

Flat Burnt Orange Italian Bull Patina Watch Strap — 100% handcrafted in our workshop in Ha Noi.

Italian bull hide, vegetable-tanned and then coloured entirely by hand. The patina is built up in thin layers over bare leather, so the burnt orange settles deeper in the grain and lifts lighter across the raised areas. No two straps come out of that process identical, and that is the point of it. Cut, edged and saddle-stitched by hand as a single piece of work, with cream hand-stitching.

The flat profile keeps the strap close to the wrist, which suits dress and field watches alike; the warm orange reads particularly well against bronze cases and cream or off-white dials. A soft Zermatt lining sits against the wrist, and the edge paint is hand-finished. Every strap is made in the size, buckle and finishing you specify, then cut and stitched by hand. Free engraving of up to 12 characters on the lining is available.

About Italian Bull Patina

Bull hide from Italian tanneries, vegetable-tanned rather than chrome-tanned: slower to make, firmer in the hand, and left bare so it can take colour afterwards. Because the dye goes on by hand rather than in a drum, the depth shifts across the strap and keeps shifting with wear — the leather darkens and gains lustre where it is handled most. It is a hide that looks better in a year than on the day it is cut.

FAQ

Which lug width and length should I order?

Measure the gap between your watch lugs in millimetres; that is your lug width. We make this Italian bull patina strap in pairs from 12 to 24 mm (for example 20/18 or 22/20 mm) and in lengths from 105/65 to 135/105 mm for wrists of roughly 14 to 22.5 cm. Custom sizes are made to measure. See our size guide for step-by-step help.

How do I care for Italian bull leather?

Expect it to feel firm at first and soften over the first weeks of wear as it shapes to your wrist. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, avoid swimming or soaking it, and if it gets wet, blot it and let it air-dry away from direct heat. A little neutral leather conditioner a few times a year keeps the finish supple.

How long does delivery to the US take?

Built for daily wear

Watch Strap Structure

Every strap is built around the three details that decide how it lives on your wrist — not the ones that photograph well.

  1. 01

    Quick release spring bars

    Choose quick release or regular spring bars. We fit them before it ships, so you can change straps in seconds — no tools, no scratched lugs.

  2. 02

    Soft Zermatt lining

    The underside is lined with soft, water-resistant Zermatt — comfortable against the skin all day, and in warm weather.

  3. 03

    Your name on the lining

    Initials or a name, hand-stamped into the lining free of charge, so the piece on your wrist is one of one.

PACKAGING

Every strap arrives in a wooden box

No envelopes, no plastic mailers. Every XILUGS order ships in our own wooden box, lined with a shock-absorbing foam insert that holds up to four straps securely in place. A spring bar tool is tucked inside, so you can fit your new strap the day it arrives, and the box keeps your collection safe long after.

  • Wooden box with every order
  • Holds up to 4 straps
  • Shockproof foam insert
  • Spring bar tool included
