Leather watch bands with bull engraving.

This strap has a leather pieces under the buckle to avoid the direct contact between the skin with the metal. It is made especially for people prone to allergies to metals.

Materials

To manufacture these watch bands, we use calf leather tanned in Spain with bison leather or neck of bull leather patterns.

For the lining of this model, we have chosen a calf leather with a natural tanned. There is nothing nicer and softer to touch.

Buckles

In Diloy, we use only stainless steel buckles to fulfil all european regulations. We try to choose the design we feel is the most suitable for every model taking into account whether it is sporty, vintage, classical, etc. If you need a different kind of buckle for your watch, you can take a look to our buckles section.

Style and details

These are flat leather watch bands, without padded, slighty slim (check technical details above). It is thought for plain watches with a classical style.

We manufacture it with the technique of remborded. In this technique, the edges of the leather are reduced until a maximum thickness of 0,8mm, they are glued and folded over the inside part and the lining of the strap. For this process, we use special machinery and moulds that we have adapted ourselves in order to get a high-quality result.

We use two loops or remborded fasteners made with the same leather than the strap, one is fixed and the other one is mobile. The mobile loop is strengthened with a stitching in the back part. It is normal that the loops seem to have a different colour than the strap. This is because of the leather performance when it is subjected to different tensions. If you bend the strap, you will see that leather become lighter and the colour is closer to the colour of the loop. The colour of the strap will become darkers as days go by.

Reinforcements

In the production process, Diloy add some extra reinforcements in the most sensitive parts of the leather watch straps. Diloy introduces a thin nylon fiber of high resistance in both parts, the buckle edge and the edges that will hold the watch bands to the watch. This fiber perfectly fits in inside the leather and it avoids the strap break in those parts where the leather has to be reduced to be folded and make the hole where the srping bar will be placed. 

We also add a nylon fiber inside the loops (also called fasterners) in order to avoid that they break because of too much tension. 

These are small details that make Diloy watch straps to be the best straps in the world.

Recommendations

We do not recommend wet the watch bands and, even less immerse with it. We strongly recommend to avoid salty water or chlorine from swimming pools.

Straps are designed to wear a watch in your wrist, avoid bending it in the opposite direction to normal use or bending it more than the natural curvature of the wrist.  

Many dyes from leather industry are fat-soluble, so we do not recommend to use lotions in the surface of the straps. Lotions can enter the leather and affect the dye. This happens specially with all colours that have red pigments and even more in those leathers with matt finish than shiny varnished.
