This product's watch strap is sold separately.Click here for Russian Calf straps

We created this with an understated design, focusing on protecting your watch from sweat and scratches. However, the loop on the base plate adds a nice accent, and it's an interesting item because you can combine different materials and colors.
Previously, we accepted orders for base plates as custom orders, but by offering multiple sizes like clothing, you can now purchase a base plate that perfectly fits your watch at an affordable price. It will have the same specifications as Accurate Form's regular product belts, and will be available in not only various sizes but also several key colors, so they will match even if you purchase them later.

Even stainless steel watches can rust due to sweat and dirt. Rust is particularly likely to appear on the inside of the lugs and in the gap between the case back and the case. I believe many people hesitate to wear their watches, especially during sweaty seasons, regardless of whether they have snap-back or screw-back cases. It also helps prevent scratches on the case back. When storing the watch in a case, you can fold it by detaching the strap's pointed end from the base plate. By attaching this base plate, you can solve these problems and also propose a new way to showcase your leather strap.

Wearing the base plate prevents the watch from directly touching your skin, making it much more comfortable to wear. It is also recommended for those with metal allergies.

Baker is a tannery founded in Devon in 1862, and is the only company in the UK capable of oak bark tanning leather.
The Parr family, who run Baker, believe in taking ample time for the tanning process and have passed down their skills for five generations.

■ About RUSSIAN CALF
This leather was jointly researched and developed by the world's leading saddle-making maison and Baker to revive the legendary Russian leather.
The vegetation in Devon, where Baker is located, is very similar to that found near Moscow, where birch and willow trees grow – the birthplace of Russian leather.
Furthermore, oak bark tanning was a common process until the 19th century in Imperial Russia.
"Russian Calf," made from oak bark and Russian birch oil, is the result of five years of research by leather restorers from the world's leading maison and Baker's tanners.
The surface of Baker Russian Calf has fine grain patterns, as if etched with the long history of Russian leather, and also some bloom (white wax) in places, but through the gaps in the bloom, you can glimpse the unique luster of this leather. Another characteristic of Baker Russian Calf is its unique scent, reminiscent of whiskey or cigars. It's a very mysterious scent, but it's an addictive and lingering aroma. It's understandable that Russian leather became a perfume name in Paris in the 1920s. Like full-grain bridle leather, it is meticulously tanned for a long period, and sufficient fatliquoring penetrates deep into the leather, giving it strong elasticity and a powerful firmness.
Baker Russian Calf is a precious leather that you can enjoy with your sight, smell, and touch, so
please try it at this opportunity.
*Please note that due to its unique scent, those sensitive to smells should be cautious.

*The color and texture of the leather may vary slightly depending on the lot.

◆Tips for choosing the right size
① If you want the base plate to be inconspicuous
・Choose one size smaller than your watch size (the base plate will still function to prevent sweat and scratches even if it's small).
・The ideal fit is when the distance between the base plate's loops is 2-3mm smaller than the lug-to-lug distance of your watch (even if they overlap on a flat surface, they won't overlap when worn).

② If you want to show the base plate just a little
・For sports watches, if you want the base plate to have a slight presence, choose one that is the same size as or slightly larger than the watch's diameter.
