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.

"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."

" 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
