Therefore, rich man who pay attention to the general preference prefer leather watch strap. Leather straps come in a variety of colors and kinds, including Crocodile, Lizard, Cow ( also called calf ) and Ostrich. The most common leather watch strap usually made of cow leather.

To be sturdy and durable, a leather watch strap is definitely not as durable as a stainless steel watch strap.

But one thing is for sure, as long as you wear leather watch strap in right way and do careful maintenance, you can greatly increase its service life, which is the same as wearing leather shoes.

The most taboo on leather straps is water, including human sweat. After prolonged immersion in water or exposure to humidity, the leather watch strap will immediately harden and become brittle.
