Straps

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! 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.

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.

This dark brown leather used by Schofield is manufactured by Clayton Tannery, a small traditional tannery based in Chesterfield. The leather is processed in the traditional way in pits using oak bark. The Clayton Tannery was established by Joseph Clayton in the middle of the 19th century. A small independent tannery, Clayton’s produces only British leathers, being fabricated from domestic hides from Northern Ireland, and tanned using methods that have not changed since the tannery was established in 1840. They are one of the last remaining pit tanners left in the UK and supply to almost every continent in the world. All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers.

The leathers used in Schofield's Tiger Loaf straps are tanned and prepared here in England. You can choose between cracked and smooth in the drop down menu. The cracked is more or less cracked and the smooth is more or less smooth. Every strap is different. All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers.

Schofield's black tweed watch straps are custom made and renowned for their quality. We use Moon Mills fabric for this watch strap and also as a lining material in the Schofield Watch Wallet. The word ‘tweed’ is an English variant of the Scottish word ‘tweel’ which refers to a rough unfinished hand woven fabric. Nowadays it is a general term for all carded ‘homespun’ wool. All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers.

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 palette of the Daymark watch is similar to that used across all Schofield products which means that these straps will suit any model from Telemark to Beater. All straps come with a set of our proprietary lug protection stickers.
