[Quick Release] Horween Shell Cordovan - Black
A luxurious watch strap made from Shell Cordovan leather by the famous Horween tannery.
Shell Cordovan leather is one of the best quality leathers which has been commonly found in high-end shoemaking. Shell Cordovan is known for its non-creasing characteristics, sheen, smooth and exceptional durability.
The tanning process for Shell Cordovan is incredibly complicated and takes a least 6 months to occur.
Shell Cordovan is a vegetable tanned product and is hand finished and therefore will have variations in colour from each batch of straps.
With use, these straps will develop a beautiful patina over time. This means they can typically develop a more darker, golden brown with usage.
- Handmade using American Horween Shell Cordovan
- Shell Cordovan has a natural lustre from within (not from the use of polish!)
- Sweat resistant lining from Zermatt (the industry leader in sweat resistant lining)
- Quick release spring bars

FAQ:
My Shell Cordovan strap is becoming darker and it's not the same as how I purchased it. Will I be eligible for a refund for this?
The darkening of this strap is a specific characteristic of this leather. This is known as a process called 'patina'. This effect is something many watch collectors seek as it results in a unique and special strap.
As this is a characteristic of the strap and not a defect, a refund for this specific reason is not possible.
