An Elegant Lightweight: The ‚Villach‘ from MEYHOFER
Today I would like to talk about one of our new stainless steel watch bands. The ‚Villach‘ from Meyhofer is a finely structured quality mesh watch band that is made of stainless steel and available in various colours such as black coloured, silver coloured, gold coloured and rosé gold coloured. You can order this watch band model in the lug widths of 14mm, 16mm, 18mm and 20mm (Unfortunately black and rosé are not available in all mentioned lug widths at the time of writing). It is suitable for watches with standard lug ends and can be easily adjusted in length thanks to the sliding clasp. What makes this watch band so special – besides its modern and elegant design – is its thickness and its weight: The Villach has a thickness of only 1.6mm and a weight of approx. 22g. In comparison to similar mesh watch bands, this one is a real lightweight. I can’t wait to show you some pictures, so let’s get straight to it:

Expect The Unexpected: The HIRSCH ‚Rebel‘
This week I would like to present to you a new robust Nato style watch strap, made of saddle leather uppers and with a softglove leather underside. If you are familiar with one- piece watch straps, you might know that they come either without lug attachments or with fixed lug attachments. The watch strap model ‚Rebel‘ from the brand HIRSCH comes with something new: 2 freely adjustable lug attachments that can be positioned along the strap to fit the size of your watch. I remember a customer who was enquiring about a one-piece watch strap with fixed lug attachments. Unfortunately the combination of his watch and the requested watch strap did not work- the watch had a diameter of about 50mm and the distance between the lug attachments of the watch strap was adjustable from 35mm to 45mm and therefore simply too short for the customer’s watch. The ‚Rebel‘ is suitable for watches with standard lug ends and can be freely adjusted, so you can attach a very small watch or a very large watch to the watch strap. Our newcomer is available in the lug widths of 20mm, 22mm and 24mm and can be ordered in different colours and materials such as black coloured grained saddle leather, brown coloured grained saddle leather and green coloured textile/synthetic. The leather versions are remborded, stitched in the individual strap colour and have a solid buckle that is made of stainless steel. Let’s have a look at them; don’t forget to click on the pictures to be taken to the products directly.

Undercover: Stainless Steel Band With The Special Something
Last time I was talking about a special designed mesh watch band. So, let’s stick to the special watch bands and have a look at another new product, that comes with an interesting feature. This stainless steel expansion watch band is made up of folded links, has a brushed finish and is available in a silver coloured and an anthracite/ black coloured version. It is suitable for watches with standard lug ends and can be ordered in the lug widths of 22mm and 24mm. So, what is so special about it? I’ll tell you: The clasp cover can be opened from the underside in order to shorten or lenghten the watch band. The great thing about it is, that you simply can insert a small, flat screwdriver or a spring bar tool into the openings and lever the cover up. The watch band can be shortened by 2 links on each side of the clasp by simply pushing the pieces together or pulling them apart, carefully. This procedure is very comfortable, time saving and can easily be done. Furthermore the combination of a clasp-like cover and an expansion band simply looks fantastic. Don’t believe it? See for yourself and don’t forget to click on the pictures to be taken directly to the product:

How to… Final Part: Help, Links and Recommendations
This week I would like to bring you the final part of our ‚How to..‘ – series. I am going to talk about the Help Section, Links and Recommendations that you can find on watchbandcenter and I will introduce you to a very helpful quick tip.
The Help Section
Another very useful tool that we offer, is our Help Section. You can find it at the very top right of the website, above the watchbandcenter banner, or in our website’s footer. Just like our Product Sections, the Help Section is organised into categories: Webshop-Information, Order Process & Legal Info, Product Info, Product Instructions and Tips. We cover most of the topics and FAQ’S that might be interesting for you or (at least) useful to know, such as ‚Shop Instructions‘, ‚Returns Policy‘, ‚Exchanging Watch Straps‘ and ‚Product Recommendations‘. The Help Section features too many topics to name them all, so feel free to take a look (click on the image below).
Help Section on Watchbandcenter
Recommendations from the right hand side of our website
Now I would like to mention some other links and recommendations that you can find on watchbandcenter. These can be found on the right hand side of the website. The first is called ‚Product Tips & News‘. You can also find this within our Help Section but on the right hand side of the shop it is much easier to spot. This shows you to a page which lists our most recent blog posts along with some other recommendations, category and product tips. The next recommendation is our ‚Made in Germany & Europe‘ category. This category is so important we wanted to give it more of a prime position than other categories. Here you can search specifically for watch straps, which have been manufactured in Germany and Europe. If you are looking for watch straps for branded watches, the next part of our website’s rights hand side should be helpful. Here you can find watch straps, that are suitable for the stated brands such as „Casio“, „Seiko“ and many more. Below the logos, you can find our ‚Payment and Shipping‘ section, which gives you a detailed overview of prices, shipping, payment, discount and customs and import taxes. To change the currency from EUR to USD, GBP or CHF simply click on the button and choose your currency. The last two buttons ‚Buckles and Clasps‘ and watch straps ‚For Sensitive Skin‘ are links to important categories which we would like to draw special attention to.

Quick Tip: Excluding Search Results
Let’s say that you would like to have a look at grained leather watch straps with a lug width of 20mm. Here is what you normally would type in to the product search field: „leather grained 22mm“ (without the speech marks). If you’re not sure which colour you’d like, but definitely not black or white and you also don’t want to browse through the black coloured and white coloured watch straps, you can exclude these colours (or keywords) by simply typing in the following words: „leather grained 22mm #black #white“. Now you get all the results for „leather grained 22mm“, except the ones that include the words ‚black‘ and ‚white‘. The great thing about it is that you can use this function for all keywords, simply add a hash tag and then the word. Another useful example is when searching for a simple one-piece strap and not a NATO style one, of which we have a lot on watchbandcenter. You can search for „one-piece #NATO“ and the NATO style straps will not be included in the search results. As we’ve sorted all one-piece straps into one category, this will make your search easier, if you’re looking for a specific type of one-piece strap.
I hope that our ‚How to..‘ – series helps you to increase your shopping experience on watchbandcenter and enables you to search more specifically for the products you want or need.
Until next time,
Chris from Watchbandcenter
