Watch Strap “Hunter” from Herzog

Sometimes you see a watch strap and have to have it. That’s what I though when I first saw this watch strap, which is why i’m writing a blog post about it today. These watch straps from the brand HERZOG who are based in Germany are some of the nicest looking straps i’ve seen in a while. The days of black and brown being colours which you can’t combine are well and truly gone. Brands such as Fossil and Nomos both offer black and brown watch straps on some of their models this year. The model “Hunter” from HERZOG is available in black with dark brown stitching and a large black, stainless steel buckle, and brown with light contrast stitching and a black, stainless steel buckle. The watch strap is made of genuine calf’s leather with painted sides and is available in 22mm and 24mm. The stitching in somewhat thicker than that on some of the other watch straps available, giving it an especially robust look.

Racing Style Watch Straps from Barington

So, it’s finally getting a little warmer here in Germany and soon we’ll be enjoying sunshine and short sleeves….hopefully. With the beginning of short sleeve weather, it is important for watch fans to make sure their watch is looking in tip top condition, and often a new watch strap is part of that watch spring clean. If you’re looking for something unique, or just looking for something bringt and summery, but you’re not brave enough to get something really bright and attention seeking like a Rowi Fixoflex in bright green (like me! i’m getting comments, everywhere I go, check them out here) then these straps might well be right up your street.

Available in lug widths 18mm, 20mm and 22mm, these straps from Barington are remborded leather watch straps with racing style holes. Currently we have them in black with various different stitching colours (red, yellow, blue, orange, white) and in brown with light contrast stitching. The straps with coloured stitching are also equipped with underside leather in the same colour. Barington is a brand from the manufacturer Eulit, based in Germany.
Here are a few samples:

New Robust Watch Straps from Meyhofer

The individual collection from the brand MEYHOFER has got bigger! The individual collection from Meyhofer is a compilation of watch straps in a range of colours and exciting designs, for people who want their watch to look, well, individual, hence the name! The new watch straps shown below are robust watch straps with a characteristic wide buckle and asymmetric tip on the piece with holes. The watch straps are made of different types of leather, which is the main difference between the models shown below. For example, the watch strap “Austin” is made of shell cordovan leather, a hard wearing leather made from Texan work horses. The leather is stamped before the watch straps are cut out of it, meaning each watch strap is unique!

NEW Nato-Style Watch Straps!

Let’s face it, NATO watch straps are not just in fashion now, they are an important part of the watch strap range and they’re not going anywhere. Predominantly made of textile material, NATO watch straps are often very simple; a one-piece strap with a basic buckle. Consumers expect choice in this day and age and simply offering black and brown is no longer acceptable, interesting or appealing. That’s why we set aboout evolving our NATO watch strap section, to offer a wider range of products in different colours, patterns, lengths, lug widths, and with different coloured buckles, in both matt and polished. We’ve really tried to make the range attractive for everyone. We’re always looking for ways in which we can make our range of watch straps even better, and we now hope you like the range available in the NATO watch strap section of our website. There will be more coming as well, so sit tight if you can’t find one that’s to your liking (which if i’m honest I very much doubt, there really is a lot of choice).
NATO watch straps are easy to fit to most watches with a straight attachment, either with spring bars or with fixed bars. They don’t break the bank either, tend to be fairly soft and comfortable against your skin, and bend around the contours of your wrist nicely. They are predominantly waterproof and have traditionally been a popular choice for diver’s watches. However with the colours and patterns now available, they’re becoming more and more popular for everyday watches, and smart dress watches alike. A couple of our new NATO watch straps can be seen here:

News Stainless Steel Watch Straps from BROS (Italy)

The majority of watches can be fitted with stainless steel watch straps, watch bands or watch bracelets, depending on how you prefer to call them. The disadvantage of metal watch straps with standard lug ends (as opposed to curved ends) is that the watch is separated from the watch strap. This is not often a problem as watches tend to have enough character of their own to compensate for this. The watch still looks cool, but the watch strap is very much in the background. That is unless it also has character of its own. Now we’re pretty passionate about watch straps here at Watchbandcenter, and a lot of watch straps have earned their place alongside watches over the years, due to design, style and that word again: character. Stainless steel watch straps don’t often ooze character quite as much as a leather watch straps, which sometimes almost have a personality (ok we spend a lot of time with watch straps, but it’s true).

We’re quite impressed with these metal watch straps from BROS though. They’re interesting, the designs are somewhat out of the ordinary and they just have that “something” that you look for when buying a watch strap. They should pair well with a range of watches, giving you a timepeice on your wrist that’s a worthy conversation starter.
