There are various different types of closing mechanisms used on leather watch straps, from normal buckles, Panarai style buckles, to standard clasps and security clasps in various colours (silver, gold, black etc.).

Sweat and other factors, along with wearing the watch strap regularly will affect the life expectancy of leather watch straps. Leather watch straps also tend to emit unpleasant odours after a time. Without regular care of the watch strap, we recommend a new watch strap once a year, purely for hygiene reasons. The positive side effect of this, is that you can give your watch a new fresh look.
