A Collected Man Istanbul, 20x19

The Istanbul is our lightest-coloured strap. The nude colour with matching stitching add a welcome note of lightness and texture to the warmer toned rose gold cases but also makes a subtle, understated match with the cold hue of platinum cases.

The strap will pair well with light, silver and white dials but it looks its finest against the blue on Journe's Chronometre Bleus. It is also available with straight ends.

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 nubuck leather, sourced from the finest tanneries in France and Italy, this nubuck leather, created from the very finest part of the hide, and is tanned to a light nude colour. Through a production process of sanding, the material is given its soft, tactile feel.

Thickness: 2.5mm, making it a medium-thin strap

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

Please note that the strap comes without a buckle, so the original tang buckle or deployant clasp can be fitted on it.
