Experience exceptional leather craftsmanship with the Wrist Envy French Novonappa® Leather Deployant Watch Strap, handcrafted using premium full grain French Novonappa® calfskin from the renowned Tanneries Haas tannery in France.

Highly regarded within the luxury watch industry, Novonappa® leather is appreciated for its exceptionally soft feel, natural grain, refined matte appearance and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time. It is a premium leather choice associated with high-end watchmaking, including use by prestigious watch brands such as Omega.

Designed by Wrist Envy for watch enthusiasts who appreciate quality materials and refined detailing, this luxurious leather deployant strap combines traditional leather craftsmanship with a contemporary, comfortable design. Its substantial padded construction, gentle taper and soft French Zermatt leather lining make it an excellent choice for dress watches, luxury timepieces and everyday wear.

Each strap is carefully handcrafted and hand-finished, showcasing the natural character of the leather and the attention to detail expected from a premium Wrist Envy watch strap.

Genuine French Novonappa® Leather by Tanneries Haas

At the heart of this premium watch strap is genuine French Novonappa® full grain calfskin leather, produced by Tanneries Haas, one of France's respected specialist leather tanneries.

Novonappa® is a particularly desirable leather for luxury watch straps because it combines a beautifully soft, supple feel with a natural finish and excellent ageing characteristics.

Unlike heavily corrected or coated leather, full grain leather retains the natural surface characteristics of the hide, giving each strap its own individual character.

Key characteristics include:

• Genuine French Novonappa® leather: Premium calfskin from Tanneries Haas in France.

• Full grain construction: Retains the natural grain and character of the leather.

• Soft, supple feel: Comfortable and flexible against the wrist.

• Refined matte appearance: An understated finish suited to luxury and dress watches.

• Natural patina: Develops additional character and depth with regular wear.

• Premium craftsmanship: Carefully selected leather, handcrafted and hand-finished by Wrist Envy.

French Zermatt Leather Lining – Premium Comfort Against the Wrist

The underside of the strap is lined with premium French Zermatt leather, selected for its soft feel, comfort and water-resistant properties.

Zermatt leather is widely appreciated in luxury leather goods and watch strap making for its refined finish and practical performance. Its soft surface provides a comfortable contact point against the skin, complementing the supple Novonappa® upper leather.

The combination of French Novonappa® outer leather and French Zermatt lining creates a premium two-leather construction, bringing together attractive natural leather styling and everyday wearing comfort.

Substantial 6mm Padded Construction with a Gentle Taper

This deployant watch strap features a substantial padded profile, measuring approximately 6mm thick at the lug end, before gently tapering towards the wrist.

The padded construction gives the strap a confident, luxurious appearance when fitted to your watch, while the gradual reduction in thickness helps create a more comfortable and natural fit.

Its carefully considered proportions make it particularly suitable for dress watches, traditional mechanical watches and larger luxury timepieces.

The combination of premium full grain leather, soft lining and refined shaping creates a strap that feels as good as it looks.

Deployant Clasp Options – Brushed Steel or Black Steel

This strap is designed to accommodate a deployant clasp, also commonly referred to as a deployment clasp. This folding mechanism provides a convenient and refined alternative to a traditional pin buckle.

Unlike a conventional buckle, a deployant clasp opens into a folding mechanism, allowing you to put on and remove your watch without repeatedly threading the strap through a buckle. It also helps reduce the need to bend the leather sharply each time you wear your watch.

Choose from the following options when ordering:

• No Clasp: Supplied as the leather strap only, allowing you to use your own compatible deployant clasp.

• Brushed Stainless Steel Deployant Clasp: A refined brushed finish for a classic appearance.

• Black Steel Deployant Clasp: A darker contemporary finish, ideal for black watches and modern designs.

Please select your preferred clasp option when placing your order. If you select the no-clasp option, the deployant clasp is not included.

Quick-Release Spring Bars for Easy Fitting

Every strap is supplied with integrated quick-release spring bars, allowing you to change your watch strap without requiring a separate spring-bar tool.

Simply operate the quick-release mechanism to fit or remove the strap, provided your watch has compatible standard spring-bar fittings.

This makes it convenient to switch between your favourite Leather Watch Straps and other styles in our Watch Straps collection.

Available Widths and Clasp Sizes

The French Novonappa® deployant strap is available in several lug widths, with corresponding narrower clasp-end measurements to create a balanced, tapered appearance.

Please check both the lug width of your watch and the required clasp width before ordering, particularly if you intend to use your own deployant clasp.

Strap Lengths

The standard strap is supplied in the following lengths:

• Standard sizes: 105mm / 100mm

• 18mm version: 88mm / 86mm

These measurements refer to the two strap sections. Please consider your wrist size, watch case dimensions and preferred fit when selecting your strap.
