How Many Types of Custom Leather Watch Straps?
Cowhide leather watch straps
Cowhide leather watch straps are basically ordinary cowhide belts and imported calfskin belts. Ordinary cowhide belts are harder in texture, thicker in texture, and slightly less glossy. But the price is cheap. The price difference is mainly reflected in the buttons and lining leather. Ordinary cowhide belts are available on both smooth surfaces and embossed surfaces. Embossing is crocodile and lizard embossed. Imported calfskin is softer and more comfortable with a fine texture.
In particular, the smooth calf leather feels smooth just like a baby’s skin. The debossed patterns pressed from the leather belt are also more delicate and realistic. And it’s comfortable to wear at a moderate price.
The features of cowhide leather watch straps give people a traditional and stable feeling. Although it is not as good as crocodile skin in terms of texture, it is inferior to lizard skin in terms of brightness. But the price is close to the people and the audience is wide. So, it is a good choice for low-end watches.
Alligator leather watch straps
The crocodile straps are made of the American alligator, caiman, Nile crocodile, and saltwater crocodile. It mainly includes slub patterns, round patterns, claw patterns, and big bones.

A lizard strap is the skin of an iguana or monitor lizard. The abdomen is small and square.
The back is rounded. The lizard leash has a lot of character. Moreover, its texture is three-dimensional and beautiful. The leather’s brightness is good. Also, the price is moderate.
