It is a very good strong leather strap. I purchased this one to replace another I had purchased from them over a year ago. The previous strap survived over a year of heavy use and this new strap appears to be made just as durable. They also look very stylish on most watches and can work in many different wardrobe choices, besides formal wear (it is not suitable for formal wear). For under $12 you can't go wrong, I've had straps worth twice as much as this one fall apart within weeks. This one will outlast those. If you need a Nato Strap for your watch, look no further.
