Taper Black Watch Strap
The Taper in black is a sharp, simple strap for a dress watch or a vintage piece with a small original buckle.
It's a smooth, flat leather strap with clean unstitched edges, and it narrows by a full 4mm from the lugs to the buckle. That's much more than most straps, which makes it handy if you want to keep a watch's original, narrower buckle, and it gives a slim, tidy look at the clasp that suits dress and vintage watches.
It comes with spring bars as standard and a choice of gold or silver nickel-free buckle. Available in black and brown, in 12mm, 14mm, 18mm and 20mm.

Strap measurements
- 12mm: 170mm long (65 + 105mm), 8mm at the buckle
- 14mm: 170mm long (65 + 105mm), 10mm at the buckle
- 18mm: 190mm long (75 + 115mm), 14mm at the buckle
- 20mm: 190mm long (75 + 115mm), 16mm at the buckle
What the measurements mean
- Width: fits between your watch's lugs, so match it to your lug width (a on the diagram).
- Length: both pieces added together. In brackets, the first figure is the buckle end (c) and the second is the hole end (d).
- Buckle width: the strap narrows towards the buckle, so this is its width at that end (b).
