Vintage Ash Alligator Leather Watch Strap – Handmade in Finland, Limited Edition
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.

The Vintage Ash Alligator Leather Watch Strap comes in a matte brown shade, created through careful hand-dyeing and toning. This artisanal process highlights the natural round grain of the alligator leather and gives each strap a finish that cannot be repeated. No two straps are ever the same.
Handmade in Finland, each piece is cut, stitched, and finished by hand. We use premium alligator leather chosen for its durability and natural texture. At around 3.5 mm thick, the strap feels strong yet comfortable, softening with wear and developing even more character over time. The Vintage Ash tone gives the strap a refined look, making it an excellent match for both dress watches and vintage timepieces.
To make your strap personal, you can choose the lining material, stitching color, and buckle finish. Other customization options may also be possible - just contact us by email to confirm the details.
This strap is available only from FinWatchStraps. From this particular piece of leather we are able to create only five straps in total. After that, it cannot be repeated and will be permanently discontinued.
