Sofia | 20x19
curved Black Nubuck

This smooth black nubuck Sofia strap is dedicated to the intriguing capital of Bulgaria and its jaw-dropping city views, mountainous backdrops and dark and impressive caves.

Editor's notes

The Sofia's matt texture offers a fresh take on the classic black watch strap, giving it a nice contrast to reflective case materials, whilst neatly matching black dials. It is now available with curved ends in a 20x19mm size to fit Journe buckles (you can view the straight end version here).

Please note that this strap comes without buckles.

Each of these straps is individually hand-made in order to best fit your watch. Completely handcrafted in France and Belgium, the process to create them involves at least five different stages of production, to ensure the spring-bar and the material fit the lugs, despite the thickness of the leather.

These specially-curved, bespoke straps come to us from the best European manufacturers. Produced using a hardwearing taurillon, sourced from the finest tanneries in France and Italy, this nubuck leather is tanned black and is created from the very finest part of the hide. Then, through a production process of sanding, the material is given its soft, tactile feel.

Regular strap: 110 + 75 mm (4.33 + 2.95 in.)

Short strap: 105 + 70 mm (4.13 + 2.76 in.)

Thickness: 2.5mm, making it a fairly thin strap

As with all our nubuck straps, the curved Sofia is fitted with a quick change spring-bar, making that next strap change all the easier.

Like all leather goods, straps benefit from a small amount of care and attention to extend their lives. Suitable cloths, brushes and shampoos may cure unwelcome odours or blemishes, and consider storing your straps in a dry, enclosed space, when not on your watch.

All straps will be shipped by DHL Express. Orders received by 14:00 GMT, will be shipped on the same working day.

Shipping to the UK is complementary and next day.

Straps may be returned within 14 days of purchase, provided they remain completely unworn and in their original, unopened packaging.
