Genuine Calfskin Leather Release by Hemsut Review

Leather looks more like nubuck than suede. Whatever it is, it looks good and has a lot of weight. The stitching is matched with a shade of brown and tapers towards the clasp, giving the strap a nice casual look. The tawny color matches the gold numerals and finishes of the watch. The spring bar and the included tool make it easy to change the strap. This is my first time seeing or using this so a little explanation would help. I didn't see the notch behind the strip right away.

Blue was the perfect shade and as I wore it it darkened and became more brittle which made it look even better. I've had it less than a month and noticed that one of the double loops that the strap tucked in to keep it in place was missing. The picture shows 2 and I only have 1. The second missing loop is the big one that slides back and forth. Without them, the end of the strap will pop out and look weird. That's why I gave this group 3 stars.

I like the watch strap so far. I have a 7 inch wrist and wear it on the second smallest hole so small wrists can suffer a bit. It works for me, so no problem, but I'm calling it for others. The gray is very pretty. It doesn't look as "worn" as it does in the product images. However, it can wear out quickly and soon look more worn. It is not suede but pleasant to the touch. I have already bought another one (light gray for other watches) and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

I have had many leather watch straps, from expensive to very cheap. Some worked well while others were a waste of money, even expensive ones! Not expecting much given the low price, I ordered a soft calf leather Hemsut strap for my 20mm field watch. I have to say that I am very impressed with this volume. The leather and stitching are of excellent quality and the fit of this strap is comfortable and true to size. I would highly recommend Hemsut leather straps and plan to buy more in the future!
