Gambier Leather Straps | HODINKEE Spec Sheet | What You Need To Know

Welcome to HODINKEE's Spec Sheet, where we use digestible, 60-second clips to showcase everything you need to know about a particular watch. The Spec Sheet hits all the details: Case size, wrist feel, thickness, movement, reference number, and (yes!) lug-to-lug dimensions. It's the next best thing to having the watch in your own hands. At Hodinkee, we think about the straps we put on our watches almost as much as the watches themselves. In fact, making straps we love for the watches we love is the origin story of the Hodinkee Shop. Now, we're introducing a new strap line to the collection: The Gambier. It's a calfskin leather strap made in France. Here's the thing about French calfskin: It's thin, but tough. The leather is cut slim, making for a flexible strap that drapes around the wrist. It's still a tough leather, though: it's hard-wearing and will hold its shape over time. The leather has a subtle pebble texture to give it a little personality and make for a strap that's not too dressy. However, the tonal (matching) stitching of the Gambier keeps the look subdued.
