Check the case size shown on the back of your Apple Watch and choose the corresponding option:

• 44 – 45 – 46 – 49mm (Ultra): large connector family.

Important information about 42mm: the 42mm size included in our first group refers to Apple Watch Series 10 and Series 11.

Apple Watch Series 1, 2 and 3 were also available in 42mm, but those models belong to the older large-case connector family. If you have an older 42mm Apple Watch, please check compatibility before ordering.

1. Place your Apple Watch face down on a clean, soft surface.
2. Press and hold the strap release button on the back of the watch.
3. Slide each part of the existing strap sideways to remove it.
4. Insert the connectors of the new strap into the corresponding slots.
5. Slide each side into place until it is securely fitted before wearing your watch.

Do not force the connectors. If one side does not slide in easily, check that it is facing the correct direction and that you have selected the correct size for your Apple Watch.

This leather strap is made to be worn. With regular use, the leather may gradually soften around the areas that flex and develop small marks or additional variations in tone. On a vintage-style strap such as this one, those changes can naturally become part of its character.

If the strap becomes wet or marked, gently remove excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Avoid soap, alcohol, perfumes, creams, ink and harsh cleaning products. Do not immerse the leather strap in water.

Wear it normally and allow the leather to develop its own character over time.

What is this Apple Watch strap made from?
It is made from genuine leather with a matte, vintage-style finish.

Is this suede or nubuck?
No. We do not describe this strap as suede or nubuck. The visible surface is relatively smooth, with a matte vintage finish and subtle tonal variation.

What does vintage matte finish mean?
It refers to a low-sheen surface with visible tonal variation, giving the leather a less uniform and more classic appearance than conventional smooth leather.

What color is Dark Blue?
It is a deep, understated blue with a sophisticated appearance. The matte finish keeps the color muted rather than glossy, while the tan stitching adds a warm contrast.

What color are the buckle and connectors?
This version features a stainless steel buckle with a gold-tone finish and matching gold-tone connectors.

Is the stitching tonal?
No. This version features tan contrast stitching that stands out subtly against the Dark Blue leather.

Will this strap fit every 42mm Apple Watch?
No. The 42mm option in the first size group is for Apple Watch Series 10 and Series 11. Apple Watch Series 1, 2 and 3 also came in 42mm but use the older large-case connector family, so compatibility should be checked before ordering.
