Benchmark Leather Watch Bands - Premium Italian Leather for Men and Women

Benchmark Basics, a small business 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, the company manufactures high-quality accessories for everyday use.

The Benchmark Basics Quick Release Italian Leather Watch Band is a prime example of their attention to detail and craftsmanship. Crafted from premium materials, this watch strap features:

ITALIAN FULL-GRAIN LEATHER: The strap is made from vegetable-tanned, Pueblo leather sourced from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in Tuscany. Pueblo leather is known for its rustic, hand-scraped texture and rich color that develops a beautiful patina over time. The strap is lined with Zermatt calf leather from Tannery Haas in France, which is double-tanned and ultra-soft, making it sweat and water-resistant.

PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION: At 3mm thick, the strap is soft and comfortable from the first wear, quickly molding to the shape of your wrist. The classic English point and 2mm tapered profile (e.g., 20mm lug tapering to an 18mm buckle) instantly elevates the appearance of any dress, dive, or field watch. The strap is finished with details like a perimeter edge crease, color-matched stitching, and painted edges.

EASY INSTALLATION: The integrated quick-release spring bars allow you to swap straps in seconds, without the need for tools. The strap is available in 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm widths, and is compatible with any watch that uses standard spring bars, including popular brands like Rolex, Timex, Omega, Fossil, and Withings.

OPTIMAL FIT: The strap length varies by width, with the 18mm version measuring 75mm (3") on the buckle end and 115mm (4.5") on the long end, fitting wrists from 5.25" to 7.75". The 20mm and 22mm versions measure 75mm (3") on the buckle end and 125mm (5") on the long end, fitting wrists from 5.5" to 8". One fixed and one floating keeper loop hold any excess length in place.

WEAR WITHOUT WORRY: As a small business, Benchmark Basics takes great pride in their products and customer service. They offer a guarantee that allows customers to easily exchange sizes or address any questions about the watch band or their other accessories.

In addition to the Italian Leather Quick Release strap, Benchmark Basics offers a range of other watch band options, including Suede, Silicone, Seatbelt Nylon, and Leather Zulu styles, catering to various personal preferences and watch types.
