Everything you need to know about harnesses
Now that the summer holidays are slowly coming to an end and swimming in the sea is decreasing, maybe it's time to renew the strap that "dresses" your watch. Either from the non-stop clubbing, or the endless dives or maybe that cocktail that fell on him by mistake has worn out your old strap. However, in your search for a new one, you may have realized that the specific market is chaotic and finding the ideal, for you, may seem a greater task than you thought.
Fortunately, we here at Goldy are here to help by explaining the basics:
Initially , belts are usually divided according to the material of their construction. So we have the leather straps , the rubber ones , the fabric ones, etc.
Of course, to choose a strap you must also know the size that corresponds to your watch. This is the distance, that is, the two handles that join the watch to the strap/bracelet. The image below is informative:
So to choose a strap you need to know what material you want it to be made of and what size strap you are looking for. However, if you decide that you are looking for a leather strap, you will quickly realize that there is a huge variety of leathers that you can choose from. In general, the most economical leathers are those from calf and buffalo , while a more premium category is made up of snake and lizard skins. Above, we find antelope , crocodile and alligator skins. Whereas, among the most expensive skins you can find is that of a shark !
Since a watch is the quintessential timeless piece of jewelry that dresses your hand over time, it makes sense to pay attention to every detail. So, something you also need to decide before you go shopping is what color tokah you want to get and what color matches best with your strap and watch. The two main options are gold and silver tokah.
Therefore, buying the straps is no small task and there are several parameters that you need to calculate first. The color, the material, the texture, the toka as well as the size are some of the most important criteria. To find the perfect harness for you, you can view Goldy's collection here .
