Supple, textured and rustic, suede is a fantastic material used on some of our favorite jackets, shoes, bags and even caps. The material is equally at home on your wrist, as an eye-catching and comfortable accouterment to your watch. While we’d recommend suede for just about any watch, the pre-broken-in look and feel of a nice cut of suede makes it especially ideal for your favorite patinated timepiece.

An affordable option available in numerous colors.

Dark grey suede looks oh so nice. 

‘Tis the season, after all. 

Handmade by a German company that’s been in business since 1931.

This strap is vegan-friendly, made in Italy from a leather alternative called EcoSuede. 

Leather NATOs are a great way to make watch wear more prominently.

Camo’s not going to work well for just any watch, but on the right one it just might be awesome. 

Wasn’t there an Elvis Presley song about blue suede straps?

Hirsch is a family business that’s been making straps since 1765.

Pairs well with early chronographs, cashmere sweaters and champagne.
