Description

Wrought from premium genuine alligator leather with desirable large square scales, the Monarch strap from German manufacturers Rios1931 is a classically-designed tapered strap with generous rounded padding.
 

The strap features tone-on-tone stitchwork along its outside edge, a pair of matching leather keepers with a ridged embossed relief and a choice of three hues of stainless steel buckle. The underside is also wrought from alligator leather in a complementary tone, truly making this a strap that's committed to its aesthetic.

Saddler’s Seam

In contrast to machine sewing, the handstitched or saddler's seam uses only a single thread, which is drawn manually from one side to the other with two needles alternately. This creates a particularly even stitch pattern. It takes approximately 40 minutes to produce such a seam, which gives a watch strap a longer service life compared to machine stitching. An exact hand seam requires all the skill of a master leather artisan and thus represents a piece of the finest craftsmanship.

Splash Resistant

This watch strap is splash-resistant, meaning it can handle hand washing, light rain, and accidental water exposure. However, like all leather watch straps, it should not be worn while swimming, showering, or during extended water activities.

Water/Splash Resistant Care

We recommend that you clean your watch strap from time to time, especially if it is being worn every day and throughout exercise. To do this, we recommend that you remove the strap from your watch (although not essential) and clean all areas of the strap with warm water and a small amount of soap.


You can completely submerge this watch strap in water without fear that the strap might get damaged. It is entirely waterproof which makes frequent cleaning nice and easy for you.

We do recommend that you rinse your watch strap after exposing it to seawater and pool water. This strap is resistant to chemicals and salt, but it is good practice to rinse the strap in clean water once you are done. We also recommend that you allow the strap to dry completely before putting it back on your wrist.
