Tempest is a soft vegetable tanned calf leather produced by an Italian tannery using a tanning recipe that hasn’t changed for decades. It has a tight grain pattern and a flat, matt finish with a slight pull-up. It’s a beautiful plum colour that works perfectly with a black dial watch. The strap photographed for this page was stitched with grey thread, but it will work equally well with natural stitching.

Straps produced with Tempest leather will be approx 4.5mm thick and are priced as follows:

£90 with a free spring bar buckle
£95 with a sewn in buckle
£100 with a screw bar buckle
