Its versatility complements almost any watch, from divers to dress and field watches. At 1.5mm thick, the Benchmark Zulu Strap is thin enough to easily slip between spring bars, but feels substantial on the wrist to balance out the weight of your watch. Pick it up in multiple colors and swap straps to match any occasion.

Crazy Horse Leather

Crafted from high-quality cowhide, the band will develop a rich patina with wear as its exposed to sun, rain and sweat. Infused with waxes and oils to create unique shading variations and a pull-up effect as the leather is manipulated. Light shades like Sand will develop a deeper patina faster than dark colors. The pull-up will also be less pronounced in dark colors.

High Quality Construction

Rugged zulu-style stainless-steel hardware, including a buckle and 3 keeper loops, is available in your choice of brushed silver or matte black finishes. Double stitched with bonded nylon thread for added durability.

One-Piece Slip-Through Design

Swap slip-through straps without the need for special tools. Unlike two-piece bands where the release of a spring bar results in your watch falling to the ground, a one-piece band secures your watch to each pin independently. Extra-long by design so you can tuck excess length back under the keeper loops for a casual look.

Swap Straps in Seconds

Easily change pass through watchbands without tools by passing it between spring bars at the top and bottom of your watch. Swap bands to suit an occasion or to give your watch a new look.

Fits Most Wrists

Measures 11.2” (285mm) from buckle to tip with 10 holes that are adjustable for wrists from 6.25” to 8.3” in circumference. Fit may vary depending on the dimensions of your watch. Note if you are replacing a 2-piece band, please include the watch when measuring length.

Leather Care & Maintenance

To maintain the color and keep your watchband looking new, use a damp rag or leather conditioner to spot clean. Avoid excess water, which can darken the band and cause color transfer. Lightly condition the leather when it begins to feel dry to avoid cracking.
