Italian calf leather watch bands and silicone.

Watch bands included in Hybrid collection are made of two parts: one part is the base made of high-quality silicone and on top of it, welded with a special proceeding, a layer of imitation carbon fiber that gives the strap a strong and sporty look.

We combine colours in the stitchings and the silicone base. So, apart from a black strap, we have black straps with the base and the stitchings in white, red, yellow, orange and navy blue colours. This model is perfect to be combined with the colour of both, the dial and the hands of your watch.

Materials

It is made of silicone elastomer suitable for food use. It is known also as 'silicone rubber' or 'natural rubber silicone'. Some of the features of this materials are its low chemical reactivity, thermal stability, low toxicity and, of course, its comfort and softness to touch

To manufacture these watch bands, we use calf leather tanned in Italy with alligator pattern of squared flakes and matt finish. Over the years, we have tried with other leathers from other places. Finally, we come back always to Italy because it is only there where they manage to get that nice colour contrast which makes our models of imitation alligator unique in the market.

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

The shape of the leather watch bands, the stainless steel buckle and the stitchings make this strap specially thought for sporty watches.

It is available with the stitching in different colours in contrast with the colour of the leather to combine them with the details of the watchcase

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.
