Description: Super unusual Genuine Exotic Skin that we have never seen before in a watch band. Genuine Gazelle strap discovered as 1940s New Old Stock. Made in England. Has a suede type finish. Lined in Genuine Pigskin. Has the painted edges popular in the day. You've got to get the vibe of early imperfect vintage watch bands to like this strap. They're kind of like old baseball gloves. Some variance to the color, and some marks and discoloration from storage/handling over all these years. To the right collector, these attributes just enhance the look. Box stitched, another collector's favorite characteristic. Still very supple and with a strong thickness. In the 16mm ends width size to fit those early watches. With full stitching to be durable. We suggest you treat early bands like this with leather conditioner or mink oil before wearing them. Has one strap hold-down strap keeper stitched in place and one that slides. The strap measures 7 3/8 inches long (18.8cm) placed end to end, not including the buckle. Metric measurements of the two individual pieces are 113/75mm. Thickness is 4.3mm where the band meets the watch and 2.4mm at the tail end. Buckle end opening is 16mm if you have a signed buckle for this band or if you want to purchase a period-correct nickel steel watch buckle from our Buckles Section with more than 200 choices.
