This is an Accurate Form watch pad, designed for use with our leather straps.

The pad is crafted with a focus on protecting your watch from sweat and scratches, while keeping the design understated. At the same time, the loop detail of the pad adds a subtle accent, making it interesting to mix and match with different materials and colors.
Until now, our pads have been available only as made-to-order items, but by introducing multiple size options—just like clothing—we can now offer pads that fit perfectly to your watch at a more affordable price. They are made to the same specifications as our regular straps, available not only in various sizes but also in a selection of core colors, ensuring a perfect match even when purchased later.

Even stainless-steel watches can rust due to sweat and dirt—especially inside the lugs or between the case and caseback. Many users hesitate to wear their watches during hot seasons, whether they have snap-back or screw-back cases. The pad is also effective in preventing scratches on the caseback.
When storing the watch in a case, simply detach the strap from the pad on the buckle side, and the watch can be folded for compact storage. By using this pad, you can solve these issues while also enjoying a new way to style your leather strap.

Because the pad prevents the watch from touching your skin directly, wearing comfort is greatly improved. It is also recommended for those with metal allergies.
Unlike other pads, this version is designed to match dress watches, featuring a narrower 4mm loop for a more elegant look.

ILCEA is a renowned tannery located in northern Italy. Founded in the 1930s, it has long responded to the needs of its customers, and today many European and American luxury maisons, particularly shoemakers, use ILCEA leathers. In addition to traditional techniques and decades of expertise, the tannery is highly regarded for its strict quality control, consistently producing some of the world’s finest leathers.

■ About RADICA

Originally developed by ILCEA for luxury maisons to evoke the look of marble patterns, RADICA eventually became widely known as Museum Calf—leather dyed with a cloudy, hand-finished effect. True to its name, the “Museum” leather is created using painterly techniques: artisans repeatedly dye the hides by hand, producing unique marbled patterns that can never be duplicated.
The leather is finished with a pure aniline treatment, preserving the natural character and enhancing the beauty of the material. When polished, a glass-like shine appears, revealing the leather’s delicate expression. A hallmark of Museum Calf is its distinctive marbling and the lustrous patina that develops with use.

Please note: each piece is unique. Some items may show little or no visible marbling.

◆Choosing the Right Size

1. For minimal appearance

Choose a pad one size smaller than the watch diameter (functionality is not affected).
Ideally, the distance between the pad loops should be 2–3mm shorter than the lug-to-lug measurement of your watch. (Even if they overlap on a flat surface, they will align properly once fitted.)

2. For a slightly more prominent look

For sports watches or when you want the pad to be more noticeable, choose the same size as your watch case, or slightly larger.
