Premium Italian Buttero Full Grain Leather
Buttero is a renowned vegetable-tanned leather produced by Conceria Walpier, a historic tannery based in Tuscany, Italy. Associated with traditional Italian leatherworking and the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale, Buttero is valued for its smooth surface, rich colours, firm structure and ability to develop a distinctive patina through use.
Made from full-grain leather, this watch strap retains the natural character of the hide while offering a clean, sophisticated appearance. Its semi-matte finish gives it a refined look that complements everything from classic dress watches to contemporary sports watches.
As the leather is worn, it gradually softens and develops individual character. The natural patina adds depth and richness, making your strap increasingly personal over time. For more traditional leather designs, explore our handmade leather watch straps and vintage-style leather watch straps.
Soft, Water-Resistant Zermatt Leather Lining
Comfort is an important part of a premium watch strap. This Wrist Envy Buttero strap features a soft Zermatt leather lining designed to feel comfortable against the skin. Zermatt is valued for its water-resistant properties, making it a considered choice for the underside of a quality leather watch strap.
The combination of premium Buttero outer leather and Zermatt lining brings together traditional Italian leather styling and practical everyday comfort. Although the lining is water-resistant, the strap should not be treated as waterproof and prolonged exposure to water should be avoided.

Handcrafted Styling with Practical Features
Designed by Wrist Envy with attention to proportion and wearability, this premium leather watch strap features substantial padding of approximately 6mm at the lugs, tapering to around 2.5mm towards the thinner section. This creates a distinctive profile that works particularly well with watches that benefit from a more substantial leather band.
The strap is finished with a polished stainless steel buckle and quick-release spring bars. The quick-release mechanism allows you to change your watch strap without a separate spring bar tool, making it easier to switch between different looks.
Available in 20mm and 22mm widths, both options taper to 18mm at the buckle. The 120mm and 80mm strap sections provide a combined length of approximately 200mm, excluding the buckle.

Avoid prolonged exposure to water, excessive heat and harsh chemicals. Wipe the strap gently with a soft, dry cloth when necessary and allow it to dry naturally if it becomes damp.
