CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER

Every Heming strap set is meticulously crafted to provide a flawless fit for both your wrist and your watch, combining unmatched fit with timeless style. Whether you prefer a classic, vintage, or modern aesthetic, our unique designs offer endless opportunities for personalization.

for wrists small and large

 

Whether your wrist is slender or broad, we makes it easy to create the perfect watch strap set. Our straps are expertly designed to accommodate a wide range of wrist sizes, offering a comfortable fit for wrists measuring from 5.1 to 9.1 inches in diameter.

FOR WATCHES LARGE AND SMALL

Say goodbye to the hassle of mismatched strap widths. Heming watch straps are thoughtfully designed to fit all lug sizes, offering seamless compatibility with virtually every timepiece in your collection. Crafted 0.5mm oversized, our straps ensure a snug, gap-free fit, eliminating the unsightly strap-to-lug gaps for a polished and precise look.

UNILOOP DESIGN

 Unlike traditional straps that rely on multiple layers, fillers, and leather veneers, our strap bands are meticulously crafted from a continuous piece of premium leather. This innovative Uniloop design ensures that both the top and bottom of the strap are made from the continuous piece leather.  With minimal stitching, the result is a sleek, seamless aesthetic that enhances the beauty of your watch.

MILBAND DESIGN

For our ML military-style straps, we use the Milband design, where two layers of  leather are bonded together to create a thin yet exceptionally durable single-piece band. The top layer is made from pebbled top-grain leather, offering a refined texture, while the bottom layer is crafted from full-grain leather for unmatched comfort and durability. 

PERFECT STRAP LENGTHS

Careful consideration has gone into redefining strap lengths to ensure a perfect fit for every wrist size. The buckle and tail straps lengths are determined so that the watch buckle rests comfortably on the underside of your wrist. With a wide range of strap lengths available, you can easily find the ideal combination of buckle and tail strap lengths, providing a flawless, custom fit.

AUTHENTIC LEATHER

Heming watch straps are crafted from premium top-grain and full-grain leather sourced from renowned Italian and U.S. tanneries. These leathers retain the authentic character of natural cowhide, processed through traditional vegetable tanning methods. This approach preserves the unique texture and elegance of genuine leather, highlighting its timeless charm.

SADDLE STITCHED BY HAND 

Heming watch straps are saddle-stitched by hand using two needles and a single thread, creating strong, interlocking stitches that enhance durability. 

Saddle stitching also enables the integration of design features like fixed metal loops—details that would be impossible to achieve with machine sewing. 

 TAPERED DESIGN

Heming straps are thoughtfully designed with a smooth taper from the watch lugs to the buckle, creating a seamless and elegant form. On the tail end, the first taper reduces the strap width to match the buckle, while a second taper refines the strap further, leading to a rounded, flat finish. This meticulous design ensures not only a sleek aesthetic but also a comfortable and balanced fit on your wrist.

FIXED METAL LOOP

The first keeper loop after the buckle is the most stressed element in a leather watch strap, enduring constant flexing as it holds the tail end and frequent contact with surfaces. To enhance durability and longevity, we’ve designed this critical loop using stainless steel. This fixed metal loop not only withstands daily wear and tear but also perfectly balances the buckle, ensuring both functionality and a polished aesthetic.

MATCHING LEATHER LOOP

The second keeper loop is crafted from matching leather, hand-stitched, and edge-finished for a refined look. Cut from the same piece of leather as the strap itself, this movable loop adds both style and functionality. While we provide the second keeper loop, for most users, it may not be necessary due to the precise lengths of our watch straps, ensuring a perfect fit without excess strap. 

THE SHADES OF LEATHER

To enhance personalization, Heming watch straps are available in a variety of leather shades, allowing you to add unique character to your timepiece. These shades can be tailored to reflect your individual style, creating a custom look that perfectly complements your watch. Paired with matching stitching colors, the combination of leather tones and thread options offers a distinct, one-of-a-kind appearance that’s designed to match both your watch and your personal aesthetic.

MATTE EDGE FINISHING

The edges of our Heming watch straps are finished with our proprietary matte edge finishing, which not only creates a unique, rounded finish look but also provides protection to the leather edges. This  finish is achieved through a three-layer process, ensuring durability and a clean, seamless appearance. The result is a strap that not only looks exceptional but also stands the test of time, maintaining its integrity and style with every wear.

DELTA SHAPED HOLES

Unlike the traditional punched circular holes found in most watch straps, Heming straps feature unique triangular-shaped "delta" holes. These specially designed holes, combined with a wider buckle pin, help evenly distribute stress across the bottom of the hole. This innovative design minimizes the risk of deformation, ensuring that your strap remains durable and maintains its integrity with continued use.

DURABILITY OF PEBBLED LEATHER

After testing various leather types for both durability and elegance, we chose pebbled top-grain leather for Heming straps. The pebbled surface offers exceptional resilience, withstanding daily contact and exposure to the elements. Additionally, the multi-tone finish of pebbled leather imparts a unique character to the straps, giving them a depth and richness that is unmatched by smooth grain leather. This distinctive texture not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures long-lasting performance and style.

STRONGER SPRING BARS

Spring bars are an essential part of any wristwatch, ensuring the secure attachment of the strap to the case. Despite their small size, they play a crucial role in maintaining the functionality, comfort, and safety of your watch. We use special 1.8mm diameter spring bars to ensure strength and reliability to the watch straps. 

EASY STRAP CHANGE

Each Heming strap set comes complete with included spring bars and a combination tool, making strap changes quick and easy. To protect your watch, we also provide lug scuff protectors, ensuring your watch lugs stay free from scratches and marks during the strap change process. Once you’ve swapped out your strap, you can store the replaced strap safely in a durable metal box for later use, keeping everything organized and ready for your next style change.

PACKED IN A BOX

Heming watch straps come in a custom-designed metal box that not only protects but also organizes everything you need for a seamless strap change. Inside the box, you'll find the strap, spring bars, combination tool, lug scuff protectors, and a microfiber cloth. The box is reusable, providing a safe storage solution for your replaced strap while keeping everything neat and ready for your next strap change.

no stress buckle deisgn

By redesigning the standard buckle and pin, we have minimized the stress placed on the strap during flexing—whether you're putting it on or taking it off. While these design enhancements may appear subtle, they make a significant difference in maintaining the integrity of the strap. The thoughtful design ensures that the tail end of the strap stays straight with minimal flexing, providing a more comfortable and durable experience while wearing your watch.

STITCH COLOR OPTIONS

The availability of various stitching colors adds another layer of personalization to your Heming watch strap. You can choose a contrasting thread color to create a striking accent that complements the dial or hands of your watch, or opt for a more subtle approach with a thread color that blends seamlessly with the leather shade. 

FLAT BASE BUCKLE PIN

Since we designed custom buckle hardware, we opted for the widest buckle pin possible to ensure superior durability. The solid 2mm metal pin is specially shaped to perfectly engage with the strap band, and when combined with our triangular "delta" shaped holes, it effectively resists the deformation of buckle holes over time. This thoughtful design ensures that your strap maintains its integrity, even with continued use, providing both strength and longevity.

SERIAL NUMBER

Every Heming watch strap is marked with a unique serial number, a testament to its authenticity. Encoded within this serial number is the year and month of manufacture, along with a product code, ensuring traceability and confirming the craftsmanship behind each strap. This serial number serves as a mark of quality, further reflecting the care and attention to detail that goes into creating every Heming watch strap.

SPARTAN LOGO

The DaVarg brand logo symbolizes simple, functional design and craftsmanship executed in a Spartan-inspired way. The iconic Spartan helmet is marked on every watch strap, serving as a testament to our design and crafting philosophy. It not only reflects the authenticity and durability of each piece but also embodies the timeless elegance and character that define our brand.

Rouned FLAt STRAP end

We reimagined the design of strap ends to ensure both functionality and style. For the tail strap, we aimed for a taper that is sleek yet wide enough to prevent bent ends that cause "dog-ears." The result is a tapered, rounded end—a distinctive feature that defines Heming straps. This thoughtful design not only enhances the strap's aesthetics but also ensures durability and a polished look over time.

LUG SCUFF PROTECTORS

For those who take extra care with their watches and can’t bear the thought of a spring bar tool scratching the lugs during strap changes, we designed lug scuff protectors. These reusable adhesive pads can be easily applied to the lugs, creating a protective barrier that prevents scratches or scuffs while attaching or removing straps. With these innovative protectors, you can keep your watch lugs pristine and scratch-free, even during frequent strap swaps.

COMBINATION TOOL

The DaVarg Combination Spring Bar Tool is a must-have for every watch owner's toolkit, offering the perfect blend of precision and ease for maintaining and customizing your timepieces. Expertly designed, this tool simplifies the process of attaching, removing, and replacing spring bars, which are critical for securing the strap to the watch case. Its precision-engineered tips ensure smooth strap changes while minimizing the risk of scratches or damage to your watch’s lugs or case. 

thoughtful PACKING

Just like our watch straps, our strap box is designed with careful thought and purpose. Each box features dedicated compartments for straps, spring bars, spring bar tools, and lug scuff pads, keeping everything organized and secure.

Designed for reuse, the box is perfect for storing used straps and tools, ensuring they remain protected and ready for your next strap change. By choosing a reusable design, we aim to reduce waste and create a lasting solution that keeps your essentials organized while being kinder to the environment.

CRAFTED IN USA

From sourcing premium leather to saddle stitching by hand, each step is carried out with precision and care, ensuring a product that’s not only durable but also uniquely yours.

CUSTOM MADE HARDWARE

At DaVarg, we believe the details make the difference. That’s why our leather watch straps feature custom-designed buckles and loops, crafted to enhance both functionality and style.

Our buckles are engineered with a solid 2mm pin for superior durability and a flawless fit with our signature delta-shaped holes. Paired with fixed stainless steel and hand-stitched leather loops, these components not only provide strength but also complement the elegance of our premium leather straps.
