Sizing
Sizing recommendations below are guidelines. Horween Black Chromexcel leather is durable yet supple and will soften and stretch slightly with regular wear. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down.
- Standard Length 120/80mm fits wrists approximately 6 1/4" to 7 1/2", in 7 increments
- Short Length 110/70mm fits wrists approximately 5 1/2" to 6 3/4", in 7 increments
- Long Length 130/90mm fits wrists approximately 7 1/2" to 8 1/4", in 7 increments
Premium Construction
Each strap is crafted by an expert artisan, with every stitch sewn by hand and every hole individually punched. The double-layered Horween Brown Chromexcel construction provides durability, flexibility, and long-term comfort, while the leather naturally develops a deep patina over time and resists hardening and salt stains through years of wear.
Aviator Heritage
Originally developed for military pilots, bund straps were designed to protect the wrist from extreme cockpit temperatures and oversized watch cases. The name “Bund” comes from the German word Bund (short for Bundeswehr), referencing the style issued to German military pilots. Today, the design remains an iconic blend of function and vintage aviation style.
