Di-Modell
"Jumbo"
a classic aviator watch strap
The "Jumbo" is one of Di-Modell's newest, designed and manufactured to complement today's large pilot and sports watches.
The "Jumbo" is superbly crafted of fine calfskin and is about 5.8 / 5.9 mm thick at the lugs. The "Jumbo" really is a robust watch strap with contrast stitching often favored for sports watches.
The 20 mm size has the traditional more pointed tip while the 22 mm size has the more rounded tip often seen on wider watch straps
Please note: the 22 mm "Jumbo" has a 20 mm buckle and so takes a 20 mm deployant clasp. I have those in stock.

"This is the
softest, most flexible rubber strap I've found. Much better than the Seiko OEM
strap. It looks great on my Seiko diver." -- Frank A., Southfield, MI.
"Your rubber Dive and Sport strap is the best I've ever used" -- Tom O,
Chino Hills, Ca
Silicone Rubber Diver
"panerai style"
A superb watchstrap that's perfect for large divers and sports watches. Most flexible and comfortable rubber strap I've found. About 6 mm thick at the lugs.
The 24 mm easily accomodates Panerai tubes (about 2.2 mm thick) , and the Panerai tube also fits the 22 mm. The 20 mm easily fits the thick 1.78mm springbars (often described as 1.8 mm)
please note: because these straps are made with soft silicone rubber, they will not work with deployant clasps.

the Vicenza Series
My "Vicenza" watch straps are made with Italian buffalo-grain calfskin with contrast stitching and they're lined with a velvety smooth and soft anti-allergenic leather.
I "test wear" every watch strap
I have made and the "Vicenzas" 'broke in' perfectly the first day. And
they are among of my personal favorite watchstraps.
I had two models made -
the "Sport" and the "Pilot." Both were made to that "magic" 5 mm at the lugs so
they are well-suited for thicker sports watches. "Robust" or "beefy" some call
it :-)
The "Pilot" is the traditional "Breitling style" and the "Sport"
is a domed-in-the- middle strap - but not too domed as I've seen some
manufacturers get carried away with. Just right.
Both the 20 mm and 18
mm "Vicenzas" have 18 mm stainless steel buckles.

@ 115 mm X 75 mm
"The Vicenza Sport Pilot" looks great on my IWC 3706 and it's a really comfortable watchstrap"
-- Wyeth M., Honolulu, HI
"The Vicenza is an amazing value for the money. The leather is baby soft and the contrasting stitching really pops! The dark brown color is a perfect contrast to the silver dials of my watches."
- Steve, B. Washington, D.C.

" For aesthetic value and function, you just can't beat the "Vicenza Sport II." It is really a nice piece of workmanship with it's great padding and oil tanned grain. The Vicenza Sport II has a true vintage yet modern look that's underpriced in my opinion." -- Jim R., Mesa, AZ
