Description: Rare Short length old watch band with 18mm ends. Will fit someone with a smaller wrist. American Made watch band by the famous maker T&C that is New Old Stock unused from the 1950s. With the wide, single strap keeper that collectors love to mark an early, period-correct watch band. In rare Genuine Horse Leather called Shell Cordovan in the popular reddish brown color of the time period. Shell Cordovan is the term used for a very special leather made from a horse's rump. A horse provides two "shells," or circular sheets of leather. This rare material, also used for shoes and belts, is famous for its pliability and durability, as well as for the wonderful patina it develops over time. Although considerably more costly than other leathers, Shell Cordovan is an excellent investment. The smooth, high-grade finish of a Shell Cordovan band gives your vintage watch a special look. Short Length strap measures 6 1/2 inches (16.5cm) placed end to end, not including the buckle. Metric measurements of the two pieces are 103/62mm. Flat unpadded strap that won't detract from a fine watch. Good thickness band is 3.0mm thick where it meets the watch and 2.0mm thick at the tail end. Comes with its gold-tone buckle or you can ask for a steel one that will be a different style.
