All of the cowhide leather straps accompanying our watches are handcrafted for Defakto in Bavaria, Germany. Only high-quality cowhide leather of European origin and is used. All used material is tested for harmful substances. The Shell Cordovan horse leather comes from the USA, this special leather hardly absorbs any odor, is water-resistant and is extremely durable. Each strap comes with a minimalistic Defakto buckle. If additional straps are ordered with a watch or separately, two spring bars will be added for assembly. As standard, every Defakto watch comes with the minimalistic, seamless cowhide strap in black that now offers a quick release system for easy changing without tools. All surface processing of the stainless steel parts is performed in-house. The laser engraving on the clasps and bracelets is also performed at the Defakto Manufaktur. All Defakto leather straps are designed for medium-sized to larger wrist dimensions, from 16 cm to 21.5 cm. The Defakto lack strap is suitable for smaller to medium arm circumferences ranging from 14.5 to 19 cm. To adjust the strap to smaller wrists, an additional perforation can be added easily. To fit oversize wrists, we recommend the individually adjustable Defakto stainless steel bracelets.
