Tradition Transcends – Trends may change, but a classic leather accessory never goes out of style. Casual enough for everyday wear, our timeless leather strap is sleek and tasteful, from the custom padding to the subtle, timeless taper along the length of the band. These refined details make this strap the perfect accessory for even the finest affair.
Size Matters – With three sizing options, our straps fit nearly any watch. Just measure the space between the lugs (the two points on your watch face where the strap connects) to find your size. Need more assistance? Take a look at the sizing video in the product description below or review our handy illustration in the product pictures.
Top-Grain Leather – Beyond the high-quality stitching and sleek, stainless steel buckle, the star of this strap is the leather itself. Plenty of brands claim “genuine leather,” but this is often artificially textured vinyl with some leather fiber mixed in. Top-grain leather is the real deal—and so are we. Made from the most durable material on the market, it’s far more resistant to wear and tear, and its natural finish showcases the leather’s rich texture and tannage.
Customize Your Strap – Our leather straps come in six handsome hues, including Camel Tan, Pewter Grey, Cognac, Mahogany, Dark Chestnut, and, of course, the classic Black. They can be paired with matching stitching or our subtle off-white contrast stitching for twelve colorways to choose from. Designed for wrists from about 5.5" to 8", they comfortably fit most folks.
Swapping Made Simple – It’s leather weather, baby; time to bust out your favorite Archer Watch Straps. The integrated quick release spring bars make changing out straps a breeze. Simply pop out your old spring bars and slide in the new strap with its quick-release lever. We’ve also concealed a thin, protective lining tube around the spring bar, so you can rotate your favorite straps as often as you’d like without wearing down the leather.

Product description
Reliability Refined
What can we say, we’re suckers for tradition here at Archer Watch Straps. Clean and classic is what we’re all about. That’s why we’re so proud to offer this carefully crafted, timeless leather watch band. It’s silky smooth, downright durable, and boasts a refined, yet unstuffy style.
Much Love for the Leather
Using a small selection of natural, top-grain leather, we crafted a band of unparalleled comfort that will stand the test of time. Avoiding the use of any corrected or artificial grain also preserves the inherent beauty and strength of the natural hide, ensuring that your watch strap will only look better with age. Enhanced by elegant details like our plush padding and pull-up finish, these bands taper subtly along their length and are etched with a simple trim of high quality, fine thread stitching. And with six stunning shades to choose from, as well as both matching and natural off-white contrast stitching options, we’re pretty confident you’re going to love this premium leather watch strap as much as we do.
Our Quick Release Leather – The ABCs
The A+ Accessory
An elegant addition to any wrist, these little numbers will complement almost any watch, and are a hit with both men and women. And with our simple quick-release lever, swapping them out is a breeze. Rocking a different shade of leather – or any other Archer Watch Strap – couldn’t be simpler!
Buckles Abound
Our leather watch straps come with a premium, polished, stainless-steel buckle, but are also compatible with any of our classic buckles in a number of colors and finishes, so you can always find the perfect match for your watch. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the taper in these bands, any buckle you choose must be 2mm narrower than your strap width!
Comfortably Classic
Our premium, natural, top-grain leather is a material of impeccable quality – both rich and worn, authentic and chic. Oh, and we’ve also lined the bottom of the strap with a layer of fine, silky suede. Just for that extra dose of comfort. Your wrist can thank us later.
What's On the Inside Counts
Any leather watch strap will see some wear and tear, especially around the spring bar area where it attaches to the watch. This can shorten the life of your strap, and in some cases, the spring bar could even tear right through the leather, endangering your treasured watch.
At Archer Watch Straps, we've added a protective sheath around the spring bar to ease the friction in that area and prevent this from happening. You'd be hard pressed to find another leather watch strap that has this feature. You won't even know it's there (unless of course you cut it open to admire our handiwork, and really, who would do that?), but it will be there protecting your strap from catastrophic failure. Trust us, your watch will appreciate it.
The Finer Points
Pro Stitch
See the stitching on these straps? Right there is where form and function meet in perfect balance. A robust thread, secure enough to withstand the most rugged wear, embroidered in a clean, simple, precise design. You can even choose between natural off-white contrast stitching, or matching thread.
Plush Padding
Padding is a technique in which a soft, malleable lining is applied to the interior of the strap. We chose to use this tasteful, subtle design choice as an ode to tradition, and love how the gentle lift in the leather gives each strap a unique, organic charm.
Tips Greatly Appreciated
Our perfectly pointed tip is stylish and functional. There's no fumbling around when putting on your watch because this tip won't snag on the buckle or keeper rings. It's a small detail, admittedly, but at Archer Watch Straps, we're all about the small details.
Traditional Taper
We’re not wild about clunky or cumbersome. That’s why if you lay this handsome leather watch strap on a flat surface, you’ll notice it thins gradually along its length. That gentle taper was designed with elegance and intent, and is one more nod to a timeless style.
Selecting Your Size
Okay, guys. Real talk. Determining the correct size strap for your particular watch is an essential part of this whole process. Luckily, it’s pretty darn simple. The proper strap size for your watch correlates directly to its lug width, or the space between the watch’s lugs. The lugs are the little points on the watch, where the strap attaches. Measure the space between them in millimeters, et voila – you’ve got the size of your watch strap. There's an illustration for reference in the pictures section above. And if you still aren’t sure, you can always check your manufacturer’s specs. Our quick release leather watch strap comes in widths of 18, 20, and 22mm. Find the right size for your watch, and then you can get to the fun part – perusing our luxurious leather straps while sipping a mug of hot tea…
PLEASE NOTE: Certain watches have unusual lug widths which will be slightly too wide for the spring bars to hold securely, so make sure you measure precisely.
