Classic Leather Apple Watch Band - Walnut Minerva
The Classic Leather Apple Watch Band is made from Walnut Minerva imported Italian leather that will age absolutely beautifuly over time. The Minerva leather is a smooth, full-grain leather that gets richer, darker and even develops a slight sheen as it patinas.
The classic design features a machine stitch with your choice of thread that compliments your leather color choice perfectly. The padded interior gives the band an elegant shape toward the watch face, and gets thinner and more flexible toward the tip, making it easy to put on and take off. There are 2 watch band loops to aid in keeping your watch band together that are connected using antique brass leather staples for durability.
Note: Connector and buckle colors currently available in Black and Silver. Choose the hardware that best compliments your watch finish. They are easily removable if you'd like to replace them with a third party connector that matches your exact watch finish. The band sizes (S/M & M/L) are based on the original Apple Watch Band sizing - select the size band your watch came with.

Care Suggestions
Saddle soap is recommended for cleaning dirty leather. We recommend Fiebing's.
Leather balm is recommended for conditioning your leather every so often. Leather was skin afterall, so it needs hydrating after a while. We recommend using a leather balm every couple of months to rehydrate and remove any scratches and scuffs. Our leather balm of choice is Smith's Leather Balm.

I love this. You can tell that it is going to last a long time it was built with great craftsmanship. I purchased the walnut with en Fuego orange stitching and it looks amazing together. Definitely will be purchasing more items!

Love the quality of the leather and the way it ages the more it is worn. Definitely will be buying from here again.
I love the feel of it, nice thick leather. Doesn't feel like a cheap band, this is a quality piece that I'm sure will outlast all the others I've had. Will definitely be purchasing from here again.
Great quality but runs a little small. The holes are to big so theres too much amount of strap between sizes. My husband (who I bought this for) is between holes on his strap. We are hoping it might wear in a bit as time goes on. But regardless, one of the best non-Apple straps we have come across!
