Dark Grey Bison Leather Watch Strap – Handmade in Finland, Unique Texture
Watch Strap Size Chart and Measuring Instructions
Step 1: Measure Lug Width
- Using a ruler or caliper, measure the width of the space between the lugs of your watch where the strap will attach. This measurement will determine the lug width.
Step 2: Measure Wrist Size
- Wrap a flexible measuring tape or string snugly around your wrist, just below the wrist bone.
- Note the measurement in inches or centimeters.
Step 3: Determine Strap Length
- Measure the distance between the lug ends of your watch to determine the ideal strap length. This measurement should correspond to your wrist size and desired fit.
- For a comfortable fit, add 1,5 to 2 inches (3.5 to 5 centimeters) to your wrist size measurement.
Step 4: Consult the Size Chart

Tapered sizes:
Tapered size refers to a gradual reduction in watch strap width from one end to the other. In the context of watch straps, a tapered design typically features a wider width near the lug attachment point of the watch and gradually narrows towards the buckle or clasp end. This tapered shape not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the strap but also offers a comfortable fit, ensuring it conforms smoothly to the wrist. Tapered straps are often favored for their stylish look and ergonomic design, providing a sleek and refined appearance when paired with various timepieces.
Please Note:
The wrist size mentioned refers to the circumference of your wrist at the location where you typically wear your watch.
The length guide provided is approximate and applies to the straps depicted in the images. Variations in fit may arise due to variances in wrist shapes, buckle or clasp types, and differences in watch case sizes or shapes, which cannot be entirely accounted for.
Additionally, individual differences in hand size and structure may further influence fit.

Every bison leather watch strap begins long before it reaches your wrist. The leather comes from the American bison — a material shaped by open prairies, sharp winds, hot summers, and frozen winters. That life in the wild leaves its mark: a grain that is bold, irregular, and completely natural. No two straps ever share the same texture, so your dark grey bison leather watch strap will always be one of a kind.
This strap is handcrafted in Finland, where we take the time to cut, shape, and stitch each piece by hand. We choose premium bison leather for its rare combination of durability and character. At around 3.5 mm thick, the strap feels solid and dependable, yet it’s supple enough to wear comfortably every day. Over time, the leather develops a richer tone and a softer feel — aging beautifully with your watch.
We also give you the freedom to make it truly yours. You can choose the lining material, the stitching color, and the buckle finish. Other customization options may be possible, but please contact us by email in advance to discuss the details.
These straps are available only at FinWatchStraps. We source the leather ourselves and craft every piece in-house, so you won’t find the same model anywhere else. When you choose one, you’re getting more than just a strap — you’re getting an exclusive design that combines rugged strength, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.
