HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL OPEN ENDED STRAP (Natural)
HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL OPEN ENDED STRAP (Natural)
Created using Horween Chrome Excel. ``Chrome Excel'' is manufactured by Horween in the United States for the uppers of work boots, etc. Currently, it is manufactured in 10 colors, but this one was made in natural. The natural color makes it an excellent match for antique watches.
Chrome Excel is cowhide leather, tanned with a combination of chrome and tannins. By containing plenty of 4 types of oil and fat ingredients, it has both robustness and flexibility. It feels a little different from other cowhide leather. The more you use it, the deeper the flavor will become. One of the characteristics of Chrome Excel is "color discoloration". If you pinch it and bend it, the color will change slightly. If you put it back and let the surface blend in, the color will almost return to its original state. When you wear it on your wrist, the shades appear and it looks very cool.
It is a flat belt that is a little thick, but it is very flexible and comfortable to wear. The same material is used for the lining, giving it a luxurious and unparalleled finish. You can enjoy the texture of solid leather. It has an outstanding atmosphere, so you should definitely try it.
This type has a structure where the belt attachment part can be used as a Paris tube (fitting). Of course, a spring bar type can also be used.
*The color and texture of the leather may differ slightly depending on the lot.
*This leather has not been completely color-fastened in order to retain its good texture. Please note that the color may fade due to sweat or rain. Be especially careful when wearing white clothing.

Got so many great looking straps from Accurate Form and never disappointed me. I am serious vintage military issued watches collector and mostly use nato straps but these open ended straps are also perfect choice and really easy to put on.
So many kinds of leather and color available but I chose something simple subtle colors on my MoD issued timepieces and made them look even classier. So far I have light brown cowhide, Chromexel in black and natural color, hope to get more in future.
