Product description

Vintage Black Stingray Leather Watch Strap — 100% handcrafted in our workshop in Ha Noi.

Genuine stingray in black, finished in a vintage matte rather than the usual high polish. The pearl-bead grain is left in relief and the surface hand-rubbed back, so the strap reads as texture first and shine second. Cut with no visible stitching at all — a clean, unbroken edge that lets the grain carry the whole strap. It suits a dress watch as easily as a diver.

A soft Zermatt lining sits against the wrist, and the edge is hand-finished to match the leather. Every strap is made in the size, buckle and finishing you specify, and nothing is cut until those are set. Each one is stitched by hand as a single piece. Free engraving of up to 12 characters on the lining is available.

About stingray

Stingray is the hardest leather we work with. Each bead is a calcified plate, which is why the hide resists scuffs and water in a way calfskin cannot, and why it takes a full day to cut and edge one strap. The grain never flattens and never creases — a stingray strap looks the same in year five as on the first day. Vintage finishing removes the lacquer sheen and leaves the beads matte, so the pattern shows as relief instead of glare.

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 stingray 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 stingray leather?

Stingray's beaded surface is very hard-wearing. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and brush dust from between the beads. Avoid soaking the strap; if it gets wet, blot it and let it air-dry away from direct heat.

How long does delivery to the US take?

Every strap is cut and stitched to order in our Ha Noi workshop in 3–5 business days, then ships to the US for a flat $5.99 with 10–12 days in transit. Orders over $350 ship free. Any import duties are the customer's responsibility.

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
