This two-toned Italian leather strap — available in five color combinations — can significantly change the look of your Apple Watch and add character to any outfit you might choose to wear. And the colors err on the fun side, like turquoise, plum and red, with different accent colors.
Note that significant pluses of this particular leather watch strap are its durability and the comfortable fit it provides when you wear it. With regular wear, it doesn’t take long for the material to shape to your hand to help ensure a good fit.
Leather for this watch band is produced in Tuscany. For years, Italian leather has been highly valued in fashion and design due to its beauty, soft feel and long-lasting strength. Tanned with vegetable solutions and covered with an aniline finish, it is supple and works well for everyday wear.

Sometimes it can be lighter or darker than it appears in a photograph, as each hide reacts to the dyeing process differently. In addition, full-grain leather may contain unique blemishes, marks or scars.
