Straps

This classic grey leather strap is back! But only a few in regular size. A smooth and slightly greasy mid grey leather with a heavy black stitch. A true example of less is more, especially when so many straps of late from both Schofield stables are quite intense. We call it the 9H7B leather as it is the colour of hard pencil lead, the 9H, the stitch the soft 7B // All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers. If you regularly change straps then we suggest you consider some Schofield drivers, purpose made for changing straps on Schofield watches. A buckle is not included.

Schofield uses ethically sourced shark skin it is not CITIES protected, when these straps go they will not be remade. The sharkskin is the first strap we made, it is the original Schofield strap!

India Rubber is a perfect material for Schofield straps. As well as its aesthetic quality it has a large stretch ratio, high resilience and it is extremely waterproof. India Rubber, also called natural rubber or caoutchouc, is harvested in the form of latex from certain trees. In places such as Kerala, on the South West Indian coast, where coconuts are in abundance, the half shell of coconut is used as the collection container for the latex, but glazed pottery or aluminium cups are common elsewhere. The cups are supported by a wire that encircles the tree. The latex is led into the cup by a galvanised ‘spout’ knocked into the bark. This process is called ‘tapping’. The latex is then refined into rubber ready for commercial use. All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers.

Ventile is an amazing material with a long pedigree going back to the 1930s. Made from 100% cotton using a long staple fibre, the yarn is woven into a very dense Oxford weave, using up to 30% more yarn than conventional woven fabrics. It is not coated or laminated. The combination of the dense weave and the swelling properties of the fibres when wet provide excellent weatherproofing. It also offers a high level of comfort and is waterproof, windproof, but breathable, durable and quiet in use. It also has strong resistance to tearing and burning. Initially developed to protect pilots bailing out into the sea during the Second World War, the material was also used by Hillary and Tenzing in their 1953 Everest ascent.

The Daymark was designed along with three new straps made from a special cellulose fabric from the most environmentally conscientious tannery in Europe. We call these the OMI straps, the black is dyed with iron, the grey with ash and the mustard with camomile. They are super tough and wonderfully textured. The colour palette used here at Schofield is similar across all of our products which means these straps will suit any model from Daymark to Beater.
