The Pueblo leather used in this watch band is a high-quality full-grain steerhide produced in Tuscany by the Badalassi Carlo tannery. Vegetable-tanned and hand-scraped, it has a distinctive surface texture and will develop a unique patina over time.

Lined with Tannery Haas Zermatt calf leather, the watch band is designed for all-day comfort. The double-tanning process provides the perfect balance of softness and strength.

Combining high-end finishes with classic style, the quick release leather strap looks equally at home on a dress watch as it does on a diver. A decorative edge crease and color-matched perimeter stitching frame the watch, while the English point and 2mm tapered profile (e.g., 20mm lug to 18mm buckle) reduce bulk and add refinement.

In addition to the Italian Leather Quick Release, Benchmark Basics offers Suede Quick Release, Silicone Quick Release, Seatbelt Nylon Quick Release, and Leather Zulu One-Piece watch bands. Prices range from $12.95 to $34.95.
