Pedestal J.&F.J. Baker Russian Calf (Brown)

The watch strap is sold separately.Click here for Russian Calf straps

This product was designed with an emphasis on protecting your watch from sweat and scratches, with a subtle design. However, the loop of the pad serves as a nice accent, and it's interesting to combine different materials and colors.
Until now, the pads were made-to-order, but by offering multiple sizes like clothing, you can now purchase a pad that perfectly fits your watch at an affordable price. We've made it with the same specifications as Accurate Form's regular product belts, offering it not only in various sizes but also in several main colors, so you can buy additional ones later and they will match.

Even stainless steel watches can rust due to sweat and dirt. The inside of the lugs and the gap between the case back and case are particularly prone to rust. Many people hesitate to wear snap-back watches, and even screw-back watches, during sweaty seasons. It also effectively prevents scratches on the case back. When storing the watch in a case, you can fold the strap by detaching the tip from the pad. By attaching this pad, it solves these problems and proposes a new way to showcase leather straps.

Wearing the pad means the watch doesn't directly touch your skin, making it very comfortable. 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 tanning leather with oak bark.
The Parr family, who run Baker, are committed to taking their time with 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 manufacturer 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 grow – the birthplace of Russian leather.
Furthermore, oak bark tanning was a common process until the 19th century Imperial Russia.
"Russian Calf," made from oak bark and Russian birch oil, is the result of five years of research by the world's leading leather restorers and Baker's tanners.
The surface of Baker Russian Calf has a fine grain, as if engraved with the long history of Russian leather, and bloom (white wax) in places. However, through the gaps in the bloom, you can also glimpse the unique luster of this leather. Another characteristic of Baker Russian Calf is its unique aroma, reminiscent of whiskey or cigars. It's a very mysterious scent, but it's a lingering aroma that becomes addictive. It's understandable why Russian leather became the name of a perfume in Paris in the 1920s. And like full-grain bridle leather, it is meticulously tanned for a long period, and sufficient oils are permeated deep into the leather, giving it strong elasticity while maintaining a firm texture.
Baker Russian Calf is a precious leather that can be enjoyed visually, olfactorily, and tactilely.
Please try it at this opportunity.
*Please note that if you are sensitive to smells, there is a unique aroma.

*There may be slight differences in leather color and texture depending on the batch.

◆ Tips for choosing the right size
① If you don't want the pad to stand out
・Choose one size smaller than your watch (the pad will still function for sweat and scratch prevention even if it's small).
・The ideal fit is when the distance between the pad 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 off the pad a little
・For sports watches or if you want the pad to have a slight presence, choose a size that is the same as or slightly larger than the watch's diameter.
