Key Features

A small French tannery established in 1803 produces the supple Granada leather for this elegant band. The smooth top-grain leather is lightly milled and tumbled to maintain its refined texture.

We also added an inner layer of Vectran weave for strength and stretch resistance. It’s the same material NASA used to make the landing airbags for the Mars rover spacecraft.

What looks like a solid buckle is actually a two-piece magnetic closure that’s delightfully simple to secure.

Band fits 135–150mm wrists and are compatible with 38mm and 40mm Apple Watch Models
