How to Take Care of Leather Watch Straps

While watch movements often steal the spotlight, the watch strap is equally crucial. Leather watch straps require special care to ensure they last long, given their cost. Here are some tips to help you maintain your leather watch strap.

  1. Cleaning
    If your leather strap starts to smell, use a toothbrush with a bit of soapy water to quickly clean the dirty areas. Then, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. The entire process should take no more than 20 seconds to prevent the soapy water from seeping into the leather. Thecustomstraps includes a free cleaning cloth with every purchase.
  2. Conditioning
    Apply leather oil to your strap for added protection. This helps keep the leather supple and enhances its durability.
  3. Handling Hardened Straps
    Avoid bending a hardened strap. Replace it when necessary. It’s best to wear leather straps in cooler weather. In summer or after exercise, dry the strap thoroughly before wearing it again. Keeping the strap clean and dry is essential to prevent bad odors.
  4. Preventing Odor
    Allow your leather strap to breathe by taking it off at night. Avoid wearing it while showering to prevent moisture buildup. Regular cleaning helps remove dirt and odors.

Additional Tips

  • Immediately dry the strap if it gets wet, and wipe off any dust.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can deteriorate the leather.
  • Rotate between different watch straps to give each one time to breathe. A ventilated environment can extend the life of the leather.
