This is my second purchase after Horween Chromexcel (black).
I was planning to install it on the LACO Stuttgart Pro 37 I ordered and post a review with photos, but it didn't arrive in time from Germany. It seems to have arrived in Japan, but it's still under inspection by the distributor. What a shame.
I purchased this strap based on the reviews and the feel of the product, as it seemed to go well with the military style.
Since the leather is apparently hard, I of course attached a quick release.
It seems twice as hard as Chromexcel.
As always, there is nothing to complain about in terms of the cutting, stitching, and edge finish.
The color is gray, or more like brown. The color alone gives off the impression that it has been used for several years, which makes me feel good.
The smell is that of vegetable tanned leather. I've become addicted to sniffing it. Unfortunately, my wife has a dog's sense of smell and hates the smell of leather, but I wonder if the reason she doesn't appreciate the smell is due to differences in the brains of men and women...
I know I'll probably get told off for a while for using a pin buckle because it's considered a sign of manliness, but I'm a wimp so I chose a D buckle. I want to use it for a long time.
The photo is a paired photo with Chromexcel (black). There is no point in taking photos of them at the same time.
Next I'm thinking of getting the TEMPESTI TEXAS Bends Leather Strap (Navy) for my SEIKO retro diver, but I also think NATO would be good.
I'm currently waiting for my favorite pair, the black Horween Shell Cordovan, to be restocked, but I have a feeling I'll end up buying a few more pairs in the meantime.

The watch I was planning to wear has arrived, so I've added a photo of it being worn.
As for the comfort, it is as described in the product description: "It's not too hard and is very comfortable to wear."
Thank you very much for your purchase following CHROMEXCEL.
The thick and imposing VIVIDO has become a very popular model since its release.
We hope you enjoy it along with your long-awaited watch.
I installed it on a vintage ORIS. It's a perfect match for military designs. The scratched finish gives it a unique look, and the slightly thicker construction gives it a rugged look.
Thank you for your comment. The scratched finish and thick leather go well with old watches, and it is a popular strap that you can enjoy aging. Thank you for matching it with your watch.
I bought it to match my vintage Grand Seiko, and I'm very satisfied with the leather texture, gray color, and construction.
The quick release option is also great, making it easy to change straps every day.
This strap is made of thick leather with a unique color and has a very atmospheric feel. We hope you enjoy it.
