Strapped For Time

Miracle from North Carolina

High quality, beautiful leather watch band. Excellent customer service and quick shipping.

I just swapped out the stock strap on my watch for an alligator flank band, and—brace yourself—this isn’t just a band, it’s a statement. I mean, the texture alone feels like it whispered its résumé in French and handed me a cigar. It's got that “I dine with ambassadors” energy without screaming for attention. Understated, but lethal. Like a tuxedoed assassin.

The cut? Flawless. The stitching? More precise than a Swiss banker’s mood. And the color—rich, dark, impossibly smooth—like espresso that went to finishing school in Florence. Slide this thing onto your wrist and suddenly you have posture. You don’t wear it, it accepts you.

This isn’t mall fashion. This is old money that learned to dress itself. So yeah, it cost more than dinner for two at a steakhouse, but it looks like it came with a side of respect.

Five stars. Zero regrets. My watch finally found its soulmate.

Ordered this strap and absolutely love it. Exactly what I was looking for.

Lovely strap. I wanted something more casual to work with the yellow gold and it looks fabulous. Well made and feels solid. Arrives stiff but a few mins rolling around my finger got the shape that curved around my wrist. Hopefully future versions may offer quick release functionality.

I really disliked the rubber strap that came with my Superocean. The white color and bulky size didn’t work for me. Enter the Arne, which is perfect. The look, lighter weight and waterproof style allow me to wear it all day, whether I’m kayaking or going out to dinner. Plus the blue is so classic. I love it and I’ll be back for more.

Spot-on color. Classic stainless clasp. I overlooked description indicating strap had quick release pins; would have opted not to have them, but maybe I'll like them. Nicely proportional, robust stitching and padding. was looking for casual strap to dress down Omega SpeedMaster Pro for long term everyday use and pleased that the leather will soon reflect the patina I am looking for. At the same time, it is clear with occasional polish, the strap could easily dress up the Omega for evening style. Nice price point; you get what you pay for.

I recently restored a 1960s Omega Constellation. That watch is stunning now, but needed a new band to elevate it. Stapled for time’s alligator watch band did the trick. It is stunning!!

I picked this strap up to replace the jubilee on my 16013 for both comfort and style, and it delivers both!

The blue is deep and rich, almost a dark navy with a little extra pop, and it contrasts amazingly with the stainless and gold.

Fit is perfect at both the case and the buckle, although the thin cut for the buckle stud wouldn't accommodate the wider but shorter Rolex stud without cutting or filing, so I'm running the Hirsch stud and springbar with the Rolex outer buckle. The gold plating is a perfect match, and the only tell is that the stud slightly covers the bottom of the coronet.

Incredibly pleased with the hide, the fit, and the overall aesthetic!

As a woman with less than perfect vision, I wear a larger men's watch but my wrist is small. Thepadded calf band in black with white box stitching was the perfect strap! Fits great, look even better. I can always count on finding just the right strap, at the right price, at Strapped For Time. The super helpful staff and speedy shipping is the main reason to only shop for straps with Strapped For Time!

Another beautiful piece of leather from these folks has breathed new life into one of my favorite vintage watches. The watch's value just didn't justify an exotic strap, but I still wanted a quality leather that would be more supple and unique than a printed genuine leather and I couldn't be more pleased.

Very comfortable strap, beautiful stitching and finishing, and a great price for the workmanship.

I put this on a Hamilton Khaki auto for a field watch. Looks great, feels great and the clasp makes it work better and adds a touch of class that fellow watch nerds will appreciate! Great stuff!!!

I have just received 2 more watch bands from Strapped For Time. These were custom orders for Navy blue: one was alligator and one was lizard. Both have the quick release pins for installing on a watch.

They are excellent quality and very attractive

I am really pleased with all 3 bands that I have purchased. The clasps are great! What a pleasure to wear, take off and put on.

Customer service is perfect.

This Hirsch Duke is a quality strap. No painted edging. Tight, close spaced, straight stitching. Note that the "long" size strap in these photos is fitted to my 7-1/2 in (190 mm) wrist with a 47 mm lug tip to tip length watch case. When my wrist is swollen I move the Hirsch deployant clasp to the 3rd to last hole. In these photos its in 4th to last hole.

I ordered the white Toronto Flat Calfskin Leather watch strap and I love it! This strap is very well made and is a perfect for for my watch.
