Black Boxed Calfskin Watch Strap - Classic Dress

A clean, understated expression of cool classic watchmaking.

We designed this strap to pair with the icons of classic watchmaking — from time-only pieces to calendars and chronographs by makers such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet — always with harmony and proportion in mind.

To preserve these original proportions, we developed this strap with a more refined taper — from 18 or 20 mm at the lugs to 14 mm at the buckle — a detail rarely found today, yet essential for the correct look and feel of these watches, while allowing the use of original vintage buckles.

Defined by its boxed stitch construction, this strap carries a quiet reference to mid-century design, yet feels distinctly timeless in execution. The stitching runs just beside the subtle heatline, creating a refined sense of depth and detail without ever feeling pronounced.

Crafted from fine Italian calfskin with a soft, natural sheen, the surface reflects light gently — bringing a composed, relaxed elegance that never feels formal. It offers a balanced presence that works effortlessly with both gold and steel cases.

Without padding, the profile stays clean and close to the wrist. At just 1.9mm, it is slim, supple, and exceptionally comfortable — designed to move naturally and wear with ease.

Finished with a smooth leather lining, this strap acts as a quiet canvas — allowing the watch to take center stage.

Each strap is handmade in Italy by Jean Paul Menicucci.
