Hirsch shark straps
In Response To: Re: Seamaster Straps. ()

: That must be the perfect leather strap!

I think so! Here is a photo of the back of a black one that I've owned for about 4 years. In that time, it has gotten about 6 months of total use--including going swimming in the ocean two years ago. Still looks almost brand new.

: How expensive is it..?

Here's what they look like both front and back. The blue on is the Hirsch style called "Atlantis," which is leather that looks like shark and sells for $39.95. The brown one is the style called "Shark" which is real shark skin and sells for $69.95.



I found a site that shows all the available Hirsch styles. But I know nothing about this place, so am not making any kind of recommendation about whether to buy through them. Merely pointing you to their catalog as possibly the only online reference for Hirsch straps.
