Azzuro Blue Barenia Leather Strap

The summer Fears watch strap

Please note: Contrary to the image shown, these straps will feature matching blue stitching. 

Our straps are meticulously handcrafted by a family-run atelier in Belgium specialising in beautiful, premium watch straps.

Leather

Handcrafted from rare, high-quality Barenia calf leather. This superior leather takes its name from the village of Barr in Alsace, from where it originates. Traditionally used for saddles, this smooth calfskin leather requires a complex tanning process, known by only a small number of craftsmen.

First double-tanned in chrome and vegetable dyes, the hides are then soaked in a mix of nine different oils over a six-week process, resulting in its unique texture. Barenia leather is famed for being used by a well-known French luxury leather goods manufacturer in their world-famous handbags.

Colour

Presented in Azzuro Blue, an Italian named vibrant colour that is halfway between blue and cyan, perfect for the summer. The blue has a contrasting platinum stitch that enhances the summery feel of the strap.

Surface Finish

Barenia leather’s surface has a smooth exterior, with just a hint of gloss. Its oil-absorbing tanning process causes it to patina over time, which is a quality that the leather is famous for.

Lining

Lined in our signature Fears Blue Alcantara and embossed with both our logo and ‘Handmade in Belgium’.

Buckle

Please note; the image shows our legacy buckle whereas this strap is now finished with Fears' new bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher).

Size

Designed to fit all Fears Redcliff, Brunswick and Archival watches, this strap will also fit any watch with a 20mm lug width.

The strap is available in two sizes:

• Standard fits wrists measuring 178 - 210mm (approx.)
• Shorter fits wrists measuring 164 - 197mm (approx.)

Fit yourself

Featuring Quick-Release spring bars, our straps can be fitted and removed from the watch using no tools. This means you can change it over in a matter of moments with no hassle.
