Black Apple Leather Strap

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

Material

Apple leather is a vegan leather-like material that is completely free from animals. It is a relatively new material (first 'created' in 2019) and offers an animal-free alternative to conventional watch straps often manufactured from animal hides.

This is a bio-based material, meaning that is partly biological (approximately 50%) and partly synthetic. In certain parts of northern Italy a tremendous amount of apples are grown and it is the waste product from these that are crushed, dried and then blended with a resin to create this amazing material.

Colour

Classic and smart, the texture on this classic black strap catches the light highlighting the premium feel of the material.

Surface Finish

Apple leather is extremely durable, hard-wearing and has been developed with a grained finish (to mimic bovine leather) but still retains the same soft and luxurious feel.

Lining

Lined in cork and embossed with both our logo and ‘Handmade in Belgium’, the lining helps ensure this strap is 100% animal-free.

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.
