HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL OPEN ENDED STRAP (Natural)
HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL OPEN ENDED STRAP (Natural)
Made using Chromexcel from Horween. "Chromexcel", which is manufactured for uppers such as work boots by Horween, Inc. in the United States, is currently manufactured in 10 colors, but this is made in Natural color. The natural color makes it an excellent match for antique watches.
Chromexcel is cow leather and is a combination of chrome and tannins. By including 4 kinds of fats and oils in abundance, it has both robustness and flexibility. It feels a little different from other cowhide. The more you use it, the deeper the taste comes out. One of the features of this Chromexcel is "color changing". Pinch and bend to change the color lightly. If you put it back on its surface and blend it into the surface, the color will return to its original shape. When I put it on my arm, it shows a light and shade and it is very cool.
Although it is a flat belt with a slight thickness, it is very flexible and comfortable to wear. Luxurious "Musou" tailoring using the same material for the lining. You can enjoy the texture of solid leather. It's a great atmosphere, so it's one you should definitely try.
This type has a structure in which the belt mounting part can be used for a Paris tube (fitting).Of course, it can also be used with the spring bar type.
*Leather color and texture may vary slightly depending on the lot.
*This leather has a good texture and is not completely colored. Please note that sweat or rain may cause discoloration. Be especially careful when wearing whitish clothes.

Got so many great looking straps from Accurate Form and never disappointed me. I am serious vintage military issued watches collector and mostly use nato straps but these open ended straps are also perfect choice and really easy to put on.
So many kinds of leather and color available but I chose something simple subtle colors on my MoD issued timepieces and made them look even classier. So far I have light brown cowhide, Chromexel in black and natural color, hope to get more in future.
