I spent some time searching for a strap for my Seamaster (ref. 145.0029). I eventually came across FinWatchStraps, handmade in Finland. They were supposed to deliver a quality strap, without breaking the bank. With the strap, I also ordered a pair of spring bars, because unfortunately they don’t come with the straps. And this is probably the only complaint I have.
So, the leather is of very good quality, pretty soft and comfortable, and the strap doesn’t take much time to adapt to the wrist. In the last months, after a lot of wear, it maintains its look. The buckle is not bad, but also not exciting: simple, polished and not signed (which I appreciate).
Besides the strap overall quality, I’d also point out the customization they offer: a few options regarding the buckle, and also a few sizes to choose. I actually emailed them with the size of my wrist (a tad bigger than 15 cm, around 6 inches), and they took no time to answer me back. The strap fits perfectly, which is kind of new to me, since I always have a hard time finding straps for my skinny wrist, usually having to punch a new hole.
