The Spirit of the Explorer

In the spirit of those who journeyed beyond the edges of old maps — across the African plains, up Himalayan ridgelines, or into the unknown — the No. 53 Explorer is a tribute to purposeful adventure. Each strap is crafted to accompany you through the dust, the weather, and the years. It’s a quiet nod to the tools of a bygone era — when things were made to be mended, not replaced.

Key Features:

  • Handmade Craftsmanship: Each strap is cut, saddle-stitched, and burnished entirely by hand using traditional techniques. We make no shortcuts — only long-lasting goods.
  • Soft Suede Leather:This edition uses a richly textured suede, offering a softer, more tactile finish than our original kudu. It’s comfortable from day one and gains character with wear.
  • Vintage Tooling & Classic Proportions: Inspired by early expedition gear and field equipment, this strap brings vintage style to any modern or vintage watch.
  • Raw Edges, Polished Hardware: Raw cut edges offer a rugged feel, balanced by brushed or polished stainless steel hardware to match your timepiece.
  • Versatile Style: A more casual take on the Explorer strap — pairs perfectly with field watches, vintage chronographs, or everyday carry setups.
  • Lifetime Leather Goods: Built to outlast trends and generations. Like all our goods, this is made to age beautifully and serve you for decade

For the Explorer at Heart

Whether you’re scaling trails, wandering coastlines, or exploring the edges of your own city — this strap is built for movement, memory, and meaning. Pair it with your favourite timepiece and let the journey begin.
