About 1971straps...


Dutch based watch enthusiast and strapmaker that goes by the name of Bernd, also known as Edug on many social platforms. (even though I'm based in the Netherlands 85% from my straps are going to the US, Canada, UK and other non EU and EU countries.)

Good to know:

  • All watch straps are 100% handmade.
  • All watch straps are made between 2.6mm- 5.5mm in thickness. Many leathers can be adjusted in terms of thickness, however not all leathers are suitable to split. Leave a note for your preference.
  • All watch straps can be customized at your requirements in terms of length, width, stitching style and color thread.
  • There are 15 Julius Koch Tiger thread colors you can choose from, but there are other colors as well.
  • A brushed stainless steel buckle is in the price included. (at the moment there are no other options)

 
** Work around time at the moment is ca. 2 weeks before finished, i will keep you updated ofcourse**
