WHAT STRAP DOES MY WATCH USE?
All our watches use an 18mm wide strap and are interchangeable.
The straps can be purchased separately here.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY LEATHER STRAP?
Avoid contact with water as it will stain and degrade the life of the strap. Excessive sweat or humid weather will shorten the life of the strap as it can't continually absorb moisture without affecting the look and feel.

If you notice your strap drying out or slightly cracking you can use a mild hand moisturiser (sparingly) to revive the surface of the leather. Any deep scratches aren't repairable and would require replacement.

If your strap starts to smell, leave it in a cool dry place for a few days to let the moisture dry out and the smell to subside. This is normally due to excessive sweat and will vary according person to person and the environment it's used in.

HOW LONG DO LEATHER WATCH STRAP LAST?
A strap should last 12 - 18 months under normal conditions. As the strap is in constant contact with skin, it is absorbing sweat and skin oils which will affect it in different ways.

WATER RESISTANCE 
ATM rating is a measure of how well a watch is sealed against water entering it. 

3ATM - Splash / rain resistant. 
Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and submerging under water.

5ATM - Splash / rain resistant. Suitable for light water exposure. 
Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and submerging under water.

Due to Stock Watches using Leather watch bands, it is strongly advised to avoid contact with water and any kind of submersion of the watch at all times. Our watches should be removed before swimming or bathing as they can't tolerate water submersion. 

If you do drop your watch in water, immediately lay it flat with the face of the watch upwards. Allow water to drain out the back of the watch and pull the crown out to allow air in and dry it out.
