StrapHabit brings you watch straps crafted from Chromexcel leather sourced at the Chicago-based Horween tannery. Chromexcel is considered one of the best types of leather for a watch strap. It offers supreme durability, yet feels exceptionally soft and supple to the touch, almost buttery-smooth. The straps are padded, but still quite flexible.
These straps also deliver a character that improves with age. Chromexcel's vegetable tanning process uses a proprietary blend of oils and waxes to create a naturally water-resistant surface that develops a rich patina over time. The oils provide comfort while resisting cracking and premature wear, and also add a unique personality to your timepiece. The result is a "pull-up" effect that shifts colors as the strap is folded or flexed. Minor scratches can also be rubbed off thanks to this effect.
A water-resistant leather lining is applied to keep the strap soft against your wrist. The Horween and StrapHabit logos are embossed, as is the strap size. A high-quality stainless steel buckle features a brushed finish and attractive grooves.
This is StrapHabit's first Horween strap. If you do (or don't) choose to buy one, I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm not sure if these will become a standard item in the catalog yet, so if you want one, I'd recommend not waiting!
