A horse provides two "shells," or circular sheets of leather. This unique material, also used for shoes and belts, is famous for its pliability and durability, as well as for the wonderful patina it develops over time.

Although considerably more costly than other leathers, Shell Cordovan is an excellent investment. The smooth, high-grade and glossy finish of a Shell Cordovan band gives your vintage watch a special look. Short Length strap measures 6 1/4 inches (15.8cm) placed end to end, not including the buckle. Metric measurements of the two pieces are 95/63mm.
