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 Burgundy. 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.
*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.
I bought the olive color for my 62GS. It's not too plain, not too flashy, and the color is perfect for vintage watches. It's also flexible and comfortable to wear.
Thank you very much for your comment. Choromexcel is a leather that contains a lot of oil, so when you bend the belt, some parts tend to become lighter or darker, making it a strap with a rich look. I hope you will enjoy it with your watch.
