Benchmark Basics Leather Watch Band - Zulu Crazy Horse Oiled Leather Military Watch Strap

Benchmark Basics, a brand based in Asheville, North Carolina, was founded in 2016 with the belief that style is in the details. Whether it's the perfect strap to complement your favorite watch or a crisp pair of laces to elevate your footwear, they manufacture high-quality accessories for everyday use.

The Benchmark Basics Crazy Horse Leather Zulu Watch Band is the perfect balance between a traditional leather watch band and a casual nylon strap. Crafted from high-quality, oil-tanned cowhide leather, this band is infused with waxes and oils to give each piece a unique shading variation. The leather will soften over time and develop a rich patina with wear, and the pull-up effect will be more pronounced in lighter shades like Sand.

At 1.5mm thick, the Benchmark Zulu Strap is thin enough to easily slip between spring bars, yet it feels substantial on the wrist to balance out the weight of your watch. The rugged, zulu-style stainless-steel hardware, available in brushed silver or matte black finishes, includes a buckle and three keeper loops for added durability.

The one-piece, slip-through design allows for easy strap swapping without the need for special tools. Unlike two-piece bands where the release of a spring bar results in your watch falling to the ground, the Benchmark Zulu Strap secures your watch to each pin independently, ensuring your timepiece remains safe during the strap-changing process.

Measuring 11.2" (285mm) from buckle to tip with 10 adjustable holes, the Benchmark Zulu Strap is designed to fit wrists from 6.25" to 8.3" in circumference. To maintain the color and keep your watchband looking new, use a damp rag or leather conditioner for spot cleaning, and lightly condition the leather when it begins to feel dry to avoid cracking.

The Benchmark Basics Crazy Horse Leather Zulu Watch Band is available in 7 rich colors – Black, Dark Gray, Dark Brown, Gray, Navy Blue, Oxblood, and Sand – and in 18mm, 20mm, 22mm, and 24mm widths. Its versatility allows it to complement a wide range of watches, from divers to dress and field watches, making it the perfect accessory to swap straps and give your timepiece a new look.
