Apple Leather
Cognac Apple Leather Strap
Our straps are meticulously handcrafted by a family-run atelier in Belgium specialising in beautiful, premium watch straps.
Material
Apple leather is a vegan leather-like material that is completely free from animals. It is a relatively new material (first 'created' in 2019) and offers an animal-free alternative to conventional watch straps often manufactured from animal hides.
This is a bio-based material, meaning that is partly biological (approximately 50%) and partly synthetic. In certain parts of northern Italy a tremendous amount of apples are grown and it is the waste product from these that are crushed, dried and then blended with a resin to create this amazing material.
Colour
Casual and warm, this could be the perfect weekend strap.
Surface Finish
Apple leather is extremely durable, hard-wearing and has been developed with a grained finish (to mimic bovine leather) but still retains the same soft and luxurious feel.
Lining
Lined in cork and embossed with both our logo and ‘Handmade in Belgium’, the lining helps ensure this strap is 100% animal-free.
Buckle
Please note; the image shows our legacy buckle whereas this strap is now finished with Fears' new bespoke pin buckle (featuring the Fears Cypher).
Size
Designed to fit all Fears Redcliff, Brunswick and Archival watches, this strap will also fit any watch with a 20mm lug width.
The strap is available in two sizes:
- Standard fits wrists measuring 178 - 210mm (approx.)
- Shorter fits wrists measuring 164 - 197mm (approx.)
Fit yourself
Featuring Quick-Release spring bars, our straps can be fitted and removed from the watch using no tools. This means you can change it over in a matter of moments with no hassle.
