Benchmark BasicsLeather Watch Band - Crazy Horse Oiled Leather One-Piece Watch Straps for Men & Women - Choice of Color & Width - 18mm, 20mm, 22mm or 24mm

I bought the sand color and loved it - the material was supple and was easy to wear. I then ordered a blue one, and recieved a stiff strap that created a gap between the watch and my wrist, and did not wrap around my wrists easily. Maybe has to do with the dyes used. Speaking of which, the blue one will bleed on your wrists.5 stars for the sand, and 2 stars for the blue, which will be returned.

They feel great and it feels like good quality leather. Just a bit to long for my wrist but might fit you fine. Trimmed about a quarter of an inch off the end of the strap and now it’s perfect.

This is a real beauty of a watch strap, but it is not full-grain leather, but rather a sade-like material. Not sure how durable it will be.

The band is much more red than I expected. I thought I was ordering a reddish brown but it's straight red. I'm hoping it will darken with time. Also, nato style watch bands tend to be a bit longer. I have skinny wrists so I'm able to still fold the excess over and tuck it into the band, but if I had larger wrists it would be problematic.That being said it's comfortable and good leather.

Nice and supple leather. Very comfortable on wrist and matches with the Hamilton KFM nicely. Though I wish they had an option for brushed hardware as opposed to polished, it still looks and feels like a quality product. Value per dollar, I don’t think you can go wrong.

I love it when I take a swing on a product online and end up pleasantly surprised. These leather NATOs really delivered in that regard.I picked up the Oxblood and Dark Green colorways. The Oxblood, in particular, is an absolutely beautiful color. I wish the Dark Green was a little "more green" and a little less muted, but I still enjoy it. Overall they really do look great. The leather also impressed me. It looks, feels, and smells the part, though it has a good deal of stretch and I don't think it is full grain. The stretch, incidentally, gives it a pretty weightless and comfortable feel on the wrist. At this price point, the fake stuff that is bonded to nylon webbing wouldn't have surprised me, so again kudos on that.While I think these straps are a 5-star value, I don't think they are a 5-star product overall. They do have some issues.First is the overall fit and adjustment. The strap is a bit shorter than a standard NATO, which is awkward because NATOs are supposed to be long, and you fold excess tag end back in on itself. When I wear this strap I am on the second-to-tightest adjustment hole, and there is too much tag end left to just let it stick out, but there is just barely enough to fold it over. It's kinda awkward to deal with. For the record, I have a pretty average 7.25" wrist. If your wrist is under 7.00" you might need to look elsewhere unless you are willing to punch some more holes in this thing.My only other complaint is hardware finish options. The polished finish looks great, but I would've preferred a brushed option (for my particular watches). Some more options would be awesome.At the end off the day I'm pretty happy with how much I spent for what are two great looking straps. Will definitely be checking out more of the Benchmark Basics catalog.

It’s nice leather band, thin just like I wanted, but too long for my 6” wrist

I got this leather NATO strap in black. The thickness is right at the point where I would consider it a quality strap of leather for this particular purpose (until it stretches). It has a nice deep black to it and the hardware seems nicely coated in matte black with nicely low profile. And it has somewhat of a nubuck feel to it.Using this strap for NATO purposes however gives me pause. This leather doesn't want to bend and articulate the way that a typical nylon strap does, this presents a few problems. It always looks like I didn't put it on properly in the spaces under the watch lugs and it doesn't want to bend over backwards to go back into the last loop (because NATO tails are always longer than necessary). The low profile of the hardware keepers also don't want to allow a 3rd thickness of leather inside of them, this is compounded by the fact that nubuck against nubuck has alot of friction. I don't think I can force that tail in, and if I could, I don't want to do this every day (much less crease fine leather).If your watch case comes down to a perfect cylinder the strap will scuff in the middle as you slide it up the strap (even though most manufacturers know well enough to taper in the case between the lugs).Basically this band just doesn't serve me any purpose in my collection. If you hate the feeling of nylon or silicone against your wrist and you feel confident enough in your skills to cut the tail yourself and you don't critique the visuals of the wear, maybe it can be great for you. But not for me.

Le falta calidad al material

Perfect fit for my timex standard chronograph

Highly recommended old great on my Seiko SKX

This strap is stunning. The finish and suppleness of the leather makes it feel expensive. It's colour is extremely rich and deep. The black hardware is well finished and well stitched on. The only concern I have is the leather appears a little thin. Time will tell how well it holds up.

Excellent
