Thick Leather Watch Bands

I am thoroughly impressed with this EACHE 22mm Brown Genuine Leather Watch Band. The imported oil-waxed leather has a rich, deep color that looks even better in person. The thickness of the leather gives it a durable and sturdy feel, yet it's surprisingly comfortable to wear. The black buckle adds a sleek touch that complements the overall design beautifully. I’m hoping over time it breaks in a little more and fits my wrist just a little snugger. Installation was a breeze, and think the band fits my watch perfectly. It has a classic, timeless look that elevates the appearance of my watch. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and you can tell this strap is built to last. I’ve received a couple compliments since switching out the band. If you're looking for a high-quality, stylish leather band, this one is definitely worth the investment. Highly recommend this one.

Never thought I'd be so impressed with such an affordable watch strap. I bought this on a whim as I wanted a leather strap for my Panerai submersible, but being a dive watch, I knew I wasn't going to wear the leather often over the usual rubber straps, and because of that didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an official Panerai strap. Instead, I found this strap, which clearly emulates Panerai straps in terms of the general strap style, thickness (4mm!), non-tapering width, and buckle style. I expected this strap to be a lot like the other cheaper straps I buy on Amazon (aside from a few trusted brands that sell on here) -- stiff, uncomfortable leather, with a cheap clasp -- but I found the opposite to be true. The leather itself is very soft and supple. You can feel how soft it is by touch, but when you bend and flex it, it's super flexible and conforms well to wrist shape. No, it's NOT top grain leather, but it is a nice, soft, waxed leather. The color of the "waxed dark brown" strap is perfect, and there is no "cracking" when flexing this waxed leather, which is great if you don't want that vintage / cracked look. The stitching is very well done, straight and without any crooked stitches or loose threads. The buckle itself is made of nicely brushed steel, and is made to look like the OEM Panerai buckles. Changing straps is very easy with the Panerai quick-change system, so I reused Panerai's proprietary (non-spring) bars. Therefore, I had no use for the included spring bars, which do appear to be on the thin side for such a robust strap, and I guess would be my one complaint, if it were relevant for me. Also, the spring bars are NOT quick release, so if this is going on a non-Panerai watch, you'll have to change straps the old fashioned way with a strap change tool. Overall, I'm very impressed with this strap, especially for the money. You could have told me this is a $50+ strap and I wouldn't bat an eye. I wouldn't confuse this for a $100+ strap, though. That's a major step up in quality. Still, I am very happy with this purchase, and would definitely buy "Eache" brand leather straps in the future. One final thought - this strap is truly made for BIG/THICK watches. I know that the lug widths available range from 20 to 26mm, but this is a THICC strap, made specifically in Panerai's style. I think it works for various watch styles -- divers, pilot watches, etc -- as long as they're larger... It will likely look silly on a smaller / thinner profile watch.

Love the thick leather band and the high quality look. It came with a tool which made the installation easy. It's a bit stiff but, it is what I was looking for in a watchband. I definitely will buy again.

Although leather working is a hobby of mine (mostly with veg tanned leather), I have no desire to spend the time it takes to make a watchband, so I looked for a veg tanned band here on Amazon. If this band is not real leather, then they have me fooled. It definitely has the look, feel, texture and smell of real leather. The dye is smooth and consistent, and scratches can be rubbed out with your thumb. The edges are burnished and finished well. The stitching looks mostly to be done by machine except for the reinforcement stitches on the band and keepers. I have had this band for two months now, it appears to be holding up well to the riggers I put it through. I am hard on bands as I wear them even when working in the yard. So, on hot days they not only get dirty but drenched with sweat and or water. Some people have complained that this band is a little stiff, but that is to be expected with this type of leather (veg tanned.) However, if one has the patience, the band will soften with time and the oil from your wrist. After a month, I found the band to be very comfortable. The only two negatives I can find with this band is the buckle and the spring bars. To me the buckle looks oversized and bulky, and I would have preferred a more streamlined buckle. It would also have been nice to have quick release spring bars, so you could quickly and easily change out the band if desired. Other than that, I am extremely pleased with this purchase, and expect it to last for years.

Great band had a great price, fits good and looks great.

Great watch band for large wrist. I have this band on my Lum Tec M90. Looks great and fits great. 7.5 inch wrist. Nice large buckle. Stitching is well done. Leather finish is consistent, no bright or shiny spots. Very well done.

Great watch band. Well sewn 1/8" thick leather. Absolutely will purchase when bands on my other watches require replacement

NOT a "genuine" leather band. There is a VERY thin veneer of leather that is bonded and top-stitched to a thick synthetic band. It looks "Ok", but the description is very misleading.

Me ha gustado mucho , buena calidad y buen precio, la volveré a comprar para tener una de sustitución.

Buenas calidad y tamaño

Muy buena calidad para el precio pagado

Piel autentica, gruesa, resistente y confortable. Cuando la estrenas esta un poco dura, pero en dos o tres días se suaviza, y resulta absolutamente confortable. Solo le pongo dos peros, por lo que no le doy 5 estrellas: es un poco corta para muñecas gruesas como las mías (1,5 cm adicionales serian ideales). La segunda es la hebilla que es muy grande. No es desproporcionada ni molesta, pero es muy grande. Sin embargo yo ya he comprado dos de estas y estoy encantado.

Erg mooie band, voor weinig geld. Inclusief handig tooltje. Zal zeker nog eens dit merk kopen als ik weer wat nodig heb.
