The Outback Watch Strap
Outback Watch Strap
Built from the same Acorn Outback leather trusted in our bestselling belts, the Outback Watch Strap brings rugged character and everyday comfort to your favourite timepiece.
Each strap is handcrafted in our Argyll workshop using premium full-grain Acorn Outback leather, chosen for its rich pull-up finish, natural grain and ability to develop a beautiful patina over time. No two straps are ever quite the same, with every hide carrying its own unique markings and character.
The underside is lined with premium hypoallergenic leather from Tanneries HAAS in France, providing exceptional comfort against the skin whilst remaining breathable enough for everyday wear.
Every strap is individually cut, edge-finished and hand sewn using durable waxed thread before being completed with our solid brass Orraman buckle.
Whether you're fitting a vintage heirloom or your daily companion, the Outback is built to age gracefully alongside it.

Sizing Guide
What Is a Lug — and How to Measure Yours
Choosing the right strap starts with one number: your lug width. Get it right and your new strap will fit your watch like it was made for it.
The gap between the lugs = your strap size
Three ways to measure
-
1
Check the spec sheet
Search your watch model + 'lug width'. The manufacturer almost always lists it in millimetres.
-
2
Measure with a ruler
Flip the watch face-down. Measure the inside distance between the two lugs (where the spring bar sits) in millimetres. Round to the nearest even number.
-
3
Measure your old strap
If you have an existing strap, measure its width at the end that meets the case. That's your lug width.
Common sizes
18mm — smaller dress watches · 20mm — most men's watches (Submariner, Speedmaster) · 22mm — larger sport & tool watches

Frequently Asked Questions
The lug width is the distance — in millimetres — between the two lugs on your watch case where the strap attaches. Remove your existing strap and measure the gap with a ruler or calliper, or check your watch's spec sheet. Most men's watches are 18mm, 20mm or 22mm.
Walpier Rocky Nero — a premium Italian vegetable-tanned leather with a smooth satin finish and minimal pull-up. Lined with Tanneries HAAS Zermatt French calf, prized for its hypoallergenic comfort.
If your watch uses standard spring bars and falls between 18–22mm at the lugs, yes. The Chieftain ships with stainless steel spring bars included, ready to fit any compatible case.
