Vintage Leather Straps

I ordered a Bisonstrap Vintage Leather replacement band in 18mm to replace the original band which came with an older Timex Panda chronograph (an inexpensive watch that's honestly kind of delightful in spite of its humble origins). For $13, my expectations were tempered, but this is a great, high-quality watchband. It comes bundled with a tool and replacement pins to make the replacement process easy (nice touch). The band, which was a little stiff out of the package, very quickly broke and and is soft and comfortable, but still feels durable and high-quality. It looks great on the watch, and I would absolutely buy a Bisonstrap again (in fact, I am considering buying a second band in brown, just for the variety).

Seems to be a sturdy and well made watch band. The leather looks and feels think. It is very comfortable and should fit small to average wrists. The included tool made removal of the old pins and installation of the new pins and band very easy (even for an old guy with limited dexterity).

Just received this brown 20mm band and installed it on my watch to replace a bracelet type band. First impressions are that it’s quality material and well made. Feels like quality leather. Looks pretty nice with the green faced watch, too. Came with 4 spring pins and a little fork installment tool. Since I put it on backwards the first time and then had to remove it and turn it around, this tool made it pretty easy. I wore the watch all evening and it stayed comfortable. It’s a little stiff at first but seems to be taking the shape of my wrist very quickly. This isn’t a daily use watch for me, so I expect this band to last a long time.

Quality is very good and it’s great that they give you extra spring bars and a tool however be wary of the overall width as it sits once it gets past the lugs. A little too narrow for my Casio Duro.

Very well made, holds it's color, and it's very comfortable. Easy to install

The leather strap is a quality strap. I used to collect watches and have owned over 200+ watched (no exaggeration). My core collection is down to around 30. Every once in a while I'll buy a watch that interests me. I recently picked up 2 vintage watches, one with a strap that came apart. I prefer soft brown leather straps for my watches that don't have metal. I've ever used this brand. Out of everything Amazon had, I chose this one, because it was advertised as soft, and looked to be unembossed (no crock or alligator patterns). I usually choose oiled leather, but this strap was the right length and width. It was nice that they provided new spring bars and a tool to change watch straps. I have a zillion of each on hand, but it'll be useful for people who don't. The strap is indeed nice and soft. No break-in needed. I prefer to wear my watches rather loosely and the straps are longer, which allow this. It's decently padded, without being overly padded, allowing movement of the strap with your wrist. The brown is a medium dark brown, reminiscent of brown oiled leather straps. It looks nice with gold or silver toned cases. Should there be a problem with the strap, I'll update this review. I liked it enough to order a second strap in a different size for another watch.

Though it is likely not real leather, it has held up quite well for me. I've worn it pretty consistently for the last 4-5 months. It does well for what its intended to do and its cheap, cant really lose there. Feels comfortable as well.

Make sure that this is the correct replacement strap. My husband has been in and out of the hospital and by the time I got to work on my watch it was too late. It was the wrong strap style and the window closed for return. Nice strap though. And comes with pins and a tool.

Se sienten de buena calidad, tienen medio año de uso y no se han roto o decolorado, son robustas pero sin ser incómodas he comprado muchas correas justo para el mismo reloj pero estás son las que más me gustan por mucho.

A pulseira é muito bonita, com bom material e bom acabamento. Faz muita diferença em um relógio. Uma observação deve ser feita: ela é baixa, portanto, pode destoar do relógio, se ele for alto.

Good quality product, thank you very much!

I picked up a relatively inexpensive used watch that needed a new strap and I went in search of options. I did not feel like paying more for the strap than I did for the watch, and Bison fit the bill. A bonus is that they were one of the few that offered the odd size of 17mm. I figure for the asking price, it ought to be fine for an occasional wear watch. When the strap arrived, I was quite surprised by the quality. The leather was supple and smelled rich. Also surprised that the strap came with its own installation tool and spring bars (I already had my own, but now I have a spare). The hardware is also solid and finely polished. Now I'm eager to try Bison again so that I can get more looks out of my watches.

Excellent, as is expected :) good leather
