If you enjoy wearing your timepiece on a daily basis, the average life span of a leather strap is between 12-18 months. It is necessary to take note that as a natural, porous material the leather, glue and stitching are adversely affected in particular by moisture absorption. Preventing the leather from frequent or prolonged exposure to lotions, water and/or excessive humidity may avoid your leather strap wearing out faster than expected. For hygienic reasons, we recommend to exchange your leather strap regularly.
