Three leathers. Three very different personalities.

From refined French calfskin to rugged, weathered full-grain leather, each strap brings its own character to the wrist.

The key is finding the leather that speaks the same visual language as your watch.

Here's how to pair three distinctive HMS leather watch straps with different watch styles.

1️⃣ HMS Barenia — Golden Brown

The Refined Classic

Barenia is a French calfskin known for its naturally waxy surface, smooth feel, and beautiful patina that develops through wear.

With time, the leather becomes richer and more personal, making every strap uniquely yours.

Smooth, elegant, and unmistakably premium, it's a natural choice for watches with a more refined personality.

🎯 Pairs beautifully with:

• Classic dress watches
• Perpetual calendars
• Minute repeaters
• Traditional complications
• Warm gold-toned watch cases

This is the strap for a watch that doesn't need to shout.

Quietly confident. Effortlessly refined.

2️⃣ HMS Apollo — Desert

The Modern Explorer

Apollo is a full-grain leather in a warm, sandy Desert tone, combining natural character with an easy everyday versatility.

It has enough ruggedness for adventure, while remaining refined enough to wear with a smart casual outfit.

Its warm colour works particularly well with watches that have a sense of travel, exploration, or aviation heritage.

🎯 Pairs beautifully with:

• GMT watches
• Travel watches
• Vintage-inspired pilot watches
• Aviation-style watches
• Exploration watches
• Cream or beige dials

A natural choice for the watch that travels as much as you do.

3️⃣ HMS Arizona — Dark Cognac

The Rugged Heritage

Arizona is a full-grain leather with a deep, weathered Dark Cognac tone and rich natural character.

It has a more rugged personality — the kind of leather that looks even better when it shows signs of being worn and lived in.

Pair it with a watch that's designed to be used, not simply admired.

🎯 Pairs beautifully with:

• Rugged field watches
• Vintage military-inspired watches
• Everyday tool watches
• Heritage watches
• Brown or black dials

It's made for the watch you reach for without thinking — and somehow always looks better the more you wear it.

💡 HMS Tip: Match the Personality

Choosing a strap isn't only about matching colours.

Think about the story you want your watch to tell.

🤎 Barenia — Golden Brown
Refined · Elegant · Luxurious

🏜️ Apollo — Desert
Adventurous · Warm · Versatile

🍂 Arizona — Dark Cognac
Rugged · Vintage · Characterful

The right strap should feel like it belongs with the watch — not simply sit underneath it.

Three Leathers. Three Origins. One Tapered Silhouette.

Every HMS tapered leather watch strap is fitted with Quick Release spring bars, making it easy to change your look in seconds without tools.

Whether you're dressing up for a formal occasion, heading off on an adventure, or simply wearing your favourite everyday watch, the right leather can completely change the character of your timepiece.

Three leathers. Three personalities. Find your match.
