Watch Obsession Lunar Deployment Baranil, £142
In the watch industry there is one timepiece that rises above all others when it comes to extra-terrestrial aspirations, the Omega Moonwatch. That’s particularly relevant here because the ‘Lunar’ in the name of the Lunar Deployment Baranil refers to the fact that this strap is designed specifically with the Omega Moonwatch in mind – although it’s perfectly suitable for a host of other chronographs too. Baranil leather is produced exclusively at the renowned Tannery Degermann.
Available at Watch Obsession.

Hirsch Arne Sailcloth Watch Strap, £83
Hirsch have reinterpreted their popular sailing strap in materials more suited to constant immersion in water than the original leather design. The leather upper has been replaced with a 100% recycled plastic sourced from 10% reclaimed ocean waste and 90% landfill. It has a sailcloth style texture to give it a nice sense of style, on top of a rubber base with a ventilated grip that lets water drain out from the sides instead of being trapped.
Available at Hirsch.
Jean Rousseau Black Diamond Straps, £145
The Jean Rousseau Black Diamond straps combine the artisanship of France and Japan, using traditional Japanese leather production techniques perfected in Himeji. It combines traditional tanning methods with the application of multiple layers of lacquer, which creates an intense colour and glossy surface with tiny, diamond-like sparkles. It’s available in several colours to suit your wristwatch and is priced at £145.
Available at Jean Rousseau.
