watch straps – premium quality, hand-crafted by Di-Modell

Di-Modell’s mottos are "Perfection is our passion" and "Perfection in Detail."  Their watch straps live up to both.  

Di-Modell watchstraps are hand-crafted in Germany.  The "Deluxe Collection" of Di-Modell watchstraps include additional features not found on watchstraps made by other manufacturers - a patented Aero-Lining and a nifty loop anchor that’s also patented by Di-Modell.

On their website Di-Modell has put together an excellent illustrated page detailing the construction of their leather watchstraps including those in their "Deluxe Collection" including the patented Aero lining and loop anchor.

In this collection  I’ve included a variety of  Di-Modell’s watchstraps in leathers from Alligator, Teju lizard and crocodile to sharkskin and calfskin.  Prices range from $32.95 to $149.95

Additional sizes and colors are available for most watchstraps please e-mail me to inquire

 

Your choice of buckle - stainless steel or yellow gold-plated

.

I’d be happy to provide either stainless steel or yellow gold-plated buckles with these Di-Modell watchstraps, unless the gold-plated buckles are not available.  I’ll note that with those watchstraps. Just let me know by e-mail or in the Special Instructions part of your order.
