Oil-Tanned Leather Watch Band in Black, 16mm

A 16mm oil-tanned leather watch band in black, finished with white contrast stitching and a silver-tone buckle.

Oil-tanned leather is a traditional finishing process in which hides are treated with oils and waxes during tanning, producing a supple, weather-resistant surface that develops character with wear. The technique has long been favored for goods made to be used daily, where the leather is expected to soften and patina over time rather than stay pristine.

The 16mm width suits smaller and mid-sized watch cases, and the unisex styling pairs well with both dress and casual watches. White stitching against black leather adds a subtle tailored detail, while the silver-tone buckle complements stainless and white-metal watch hardware.

Suits a wearer refreshing a favorite watch or building a small rotation of straps to shift a single timepiece between looks — a practical upgrade with a classic finish.
