Echt alligatorband - Raafpaars

The color is even richer in person than the photos, that raven purple shifts depending on the light. Hand sewn and the quick release pins are a lifesaver for switching between straps. This one's going to stay on my dress watch for a long while.

The quick release pins made swapping this onto my watch a thirty-second job, and the alligator leather feels incredibly supple right out of the box. The tapered 20mm to 18mm width gives it a sleek profile that dresses up any dial.

The color is what sold me—raven purple sounds gimmicky but it's actually this deep, moody shade that shifts in the light. The hand stitching is tight and even, and the quick release pins click in solidly. Fits my 20mm lug watch perfectly.
