Apart from the  absolute amazing quality of the watch, you receive a bright orange watch case that is perfect for storing your new Kazimon 1500 watch, 2 straps (1 being a red nylon NATO strap and the other being a brown or black leather strap) which perfectly compliment the watch. There is a 1 year warranty on the watch’s movement, so you need not worry about the watch breaking down on you after 8 or 9 months of use. I was lucky enough to receive a Kazimon key chain apart from the watch and accessories that come with it. The only other accessory I was lucky enough to receive was the case back tool that allows you to take apart the rear part of the watch’s case. This is about a $130USD value and is something I highly recommend you purchase when buying a Kazimon watch. Enough of my talk, take a look at the pictures below and decide for yourself!

Shell cordovan leather take over 6 months to make, then another 2-4 weeks for the dying process. Horween has some of the best leathers you can find in America and we try to exclusively use them in all of our wallets. Each wallet is able to hold many credit cards, a driver’s license and a large stash of folded cash. You will find that the leather ages very well and actually gets nicer looking the more you use it. (Earlier this month, we wrote an article on the “Art of Aging Leather“, which shows you some of the differences that can occur from a newly made leather product to an aged piece of leather). All of the ink and green cavalier chromexcel wallets are limited edition, which means they will not be around for that long. The natural chromexcel wallets were also recently added and will be a long standing product that is a part of our standard release products. For more information about these products, you can visit DaLuca Strap’s handmade wallet section.

Patina is a truly remarkable thing to witness, but it can be tough to really see unless you take a before and after picture (as seen below).  We recommend that you take a picture, right when you purchase your leather.  After you do this, try aging your leather for a few weeks, then take another picture of your newly aged leather.  One word of caution is to make sure you do not dry out your leather in a way that makes it dry or brittle.  You can always use some Venetian Cream to get that softness back into your leather.

The natural or new looking vintage Panerai watch strap below comes from a vintage army belt. While this leather may look new, it is really 50+ years old. The darker brown Panerai watch strap is the same exact leather and looked like the watch strap on the left about 1 month prior.  Us at DaLuca could not believe our eyes as our customer sent this watch strap back to us, so we could see the patina development (he also wanted to add another custom punched hole to the strap, which is why the holes are different from the natural looking Panerai watch strap on the left). The techniques used to age this leather were washing dishes while wearing this strap, wearing the watch in the shower, splashing rain water on it and touching it, which allowed the natural oils from his skin to transfer onto the leathers skin.

Each bracelet starts with an extremely high quality piece of vintage leather that is molded into the perfect bracelet. The end is shaven down to smooth out the leather and the tip is cut. We then add a high quality metal snap in one of three colors (silver, gold or gunmetal) to the ends of the strap. Some bracelets may have one snap, while the larger ones may contain two. These are made to last for many years to come and a wide variety will be available in the near future. There will be a great deal made for woman and for men in a large amount of colors, leathers and thicknesses.
