Product description

Red Epsom Calfskin Leather Rally Watch Strap — 100% handcrafted in our workshop in Ha Noi.

A bright, saturated red cut from French-tanned Epsom calfskin, punched with a dense field of racing holes and left unlined at the edge so the black shows through cleanly against the red. The stitching is dark grey rather than white, which keeps the strap looking sharp instead of sporty-loud, and the hand-painted edge is black to close the contrast. This is a flat build — no padding — so it sits low and follows the wrist, which suits smaller sports watches and vintage chronographs where a padded band would look bulky.

Lined with Zermatt, a soft French calf lining that stays comfortable in heat and does not transfer colour onto the skin. Edges are bevelled, burnished and sealed by hand in three passes. Every strap is made to order: send us your lug width, the length of each half and the buckle finish, and we cut it to your wrist. Free engraving of up to 12 characters on the lining — a name, initials or a date.

About Epsom Calfskin

Epsom is a calfskin embossed with a fine, regular cross-hatch grain and then finished so the grain stays raised. Because the pattern is pressed rather than natural, every strap looks the same from end to end and colours come out clean and saturated — which is why reds on Epsom stay vivid instead of turning muddy. It is one of the most hard-wearing dress leathers we work with: it resists water and scratches, does not stretch out of shape, and wipes clean with a damp cloth.

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 Epsom calfskin 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 Epsom calfskin?

Wipe the strap with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Epsom's pressed grain resists scratches and water marks, and the Zermatt lining is water-resistant, but avoid swimming or soaking it. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally away from direct heat, and take it off now and then so the leather can breathe.

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
