“We wanted to see something with a modern twist and that involved some precision work to bring the best out of our strap maker.
We love Nubuck for its texture and the way it ages over time. So with that decision made, we just had to choose a color. A classic tan was our first idea, but as we’re vintage guys, we felt something that radiated a warm gilt tone was even richer. A colour that would really bring out those gilt dials that we all love so much.
We pushed for a contrast edge that would represent a more raw and natural approach. We were told that contrast edging a strap is no easy task and takes years of practice to edge with precision. We’re glad we held out for this as we couldn’t have been happier with the final result.
Lastly, we asked for a contrast keepers, not only is it a nice detail and gives the strap a cool casual vibe, we wanted to use a leather that would patinate over time and double tanned french calf skin apparently does this very well”.

Who are the Davidoff Brothers?
Two brothers, Roy and Sacha Davidoff based in Geneva. Vintage specialists, with over 40 years of combined experience, they’re considered to be the reference when it comes to anything vintage Omega. Together they’ve helped build a cohesive vintage Omega market by working closely with the Omega museum, being published and curating the seminal The Ultimate Speedmaster Exhibition in 2015.
Both avid collectors first and foremost, their private collection spans watches from the 40’s through to the 80’s. This knowledge and passion for vintage watches culminated in the founding of ROY & SACHA DAVIDOFF SA.
If you ever find yourself in Geneva, then their fabulous boutique is a must visit.
Our Taurillon Nubuck Collection is created from the very best part of the hide, the top grain. It’s then sanded to create a short nap that has a plush velvety feel. Top grain Nubucks are considered the very best available. Soft but equally resilient, an absolute pleasure to wear on the wrist.

A little care can go a long way in not only protecting your strap but also extending it’s life. The first and most important rule is to make sure that you avoid water at all costs. Water is the mortal enemy of leather and will stain, discolour and weaken the fibres. So no showering, swimming or exercising while wearing your strap.
Like a good pair of shoes, if you get the chance to rotate your straps then this will allow you to enjoy them a little longer.
When you’re not wearing your strap, then we suggest storing it in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
