On the spot where the strap attaches to the watch and buckle, leather is reinforced by a layer of aramid and rubber. Particularly the aramid layer eliminates the risk of tearing. In addition, two layers of leather are reinforced by a rubber along the entire length of the strap which determines the design and flexibility of the watch strap. The straps most vulnerable areas are not only reinforced by aramid and rubber, but by ultra-slim, metallic gold-plated “stoppers”, with the marking appearing on the back of the strap.
