If you're looking for a superb quality watch strap at a very moderate price, these are the best you'll find. Bros takes great care with every watchstrap they make, whether it's these fine Italian calfskin watchstraps, or the premium Officina Italia collection. Many of the straps like the Oklahoma and Punta Sartoria feature workmanship that includes hand-stitching and detailing.
.
"My strap came today (black Maya) and it's terrific... The visual and
physical texture is just wonderful. It looks and feels like a very expensive band."
.
D.A. , Wisconsin about the Bros Maya
.
"The Oklahoma strap is definitely a 'keeper,' thick, rich color and nice texture, very classy and expensive looking."
.
H.N. New Jersey

"Nicer than any [under] $20 band has a right to!"
E.C., Washington, D.C. about the Geo Tennis
.
And this is what folks say about even the most moderately-priced Bros watchstraps.
.
My thanks to D.A., H.N and E.C., and other folks for giving an opportunity to Bros to prove its quality and value and for giving me the opportunity to provide these watchstraps..
.
I've put Bros watch straps on my watches and photographed some of them, so you can get a better idea of how they might look on your watches.

The ones I've shown below with Special sale prices are available for immediate delivery. If a particular strap goes out of stock or isn't in stock yet, I won't take your order for it until I have it available.

All straps are in regular length only.

As an example of what's available right now, here's an dark brown Oklahoma on a vintage Longines.

Oklahoma.

From Bros' premium Atelier collection, the Oklahoma is designed and painstakingly crafted in fine Italian calfskin to show the look of alligator at a fraction of the price. The strap is padded and has a very subtle matt finish that will complement any watch. The detail on this strap is superb. Even the keepers are stitched to enhance the look and durability of this strap.

Mosiaco

Not your ordinary watch strap, the Mosiaco has been designed with subtle shadings and multiple tones and specially crafted of fine Italian calfskin to show the look of alligator. In Europe, the Mosiaco has quickly become one of the hottest selling fashion straps in Bros' premium Atelier collection.

Punta Sartoria
.
Bros' export manager said I'd be "missing the boat" if I didn't include the Punta Sartoria in my first offering. And I have to admit that the look of these specially finished straps with contrasting hand-stitching has really grown on me. These are cut edge straps of fine Italian calfskin. Above is a black Punta Sartoria on a stainless Ball, and I'm not sure whether or not is a Trainmaster or not.
.
Available for immediate delivery in black, blue, and natural (tan), in 18 mm

20 mm 's are temporarily out of stock-

More of the 20 mm's have been ordered and they should be in stock soon. These are nice watchstraps at a very nice price, so I'll be keeping these as regular stock.

U.S. list price is $35.95

Special sale price $22.95

Jurassic
.
The photography Bros has done to show it's watchstraps is superb and it accurately represents them 99 and 44/100 percent of the time. This Jurassic is that rare 56/100 percent of the time when the real look of a Bros watchstrap doesn't come through. So here it is on the same U.G. Polerouter I used to illustrate the Mosaico. Maybe not quite suitable for "black tie" but I think it sure fits the bill for a more casual look. Part of Bros' Trend collection it was inspired by the creatures of the Jurassic era Each Jurassic watchstrap is carefully colored and hand buffed to give it a subtle, and almost metallic effect. Made from Italian calfskin, these straps are padded and feature rembordered (turned) edges

Available for immediate delivery in dark brown (pictured on the Polerouter) in both 18 mm and 20 mm

U.S. list price $34.95
.
Special sale price $21.95.

Fantasy
.
Add a touch of color to your timepiece with the Fantasy from the Bros Trend collection. These are simply for fun straps. The Fantasy is very thinly padded, if at all, and is made of Italian calfskin finished with an alligator grain. I nearly fell over when I saw some similarly colored straps being offered by one the "trendy" watch lines priced at about $150.
.
Available for immediate delivery in light blue ("baby blue") , medium blue and red in 18 mm only. I put the "baby blue" on the Polerouter. I'm sorry the picture isn't better. I think it's kind of a neat look - just for fun.
.
U.S. list price is $29.95
.
Special sale price $17.95.

Maya
.
Bros describes these double ridge padded Italian calfskin straps as specially finished to give a look of bull leather. They've been very popular because they complement the style of larger modern sport watches. Somehow my order for tan straps got converted to red, so they are available for immediate deliver in red and black in 20 mm only.
.
U.S. list price $39.95
.
Special sale price 24.95 in black and red in 20 mm.

Sorry - temporarily sold out in black

Geo Tennis
.
When I first saw this strap, I thought "perfect for muggy Washington, D.C. in summer." The Geo Active collection has a Drilex synthetic lining sandwiched between the outer Italian calfskin and an inner leather lining to wick moisture away from the wrist. The holes perforating the inner lining increase the effectiveness of Bros' Drilex system. I've included a Bros illustration of the design. Bros offers three Geo Active styles and I selected the Geo Tennis because it is a rembordered (turned edge) strap with an alligator grain finish. If you'd like to see me carry any of the other Geo Active models, please let me know. Above is a black Geo Tennis on a leCoultre.
