The Apex – Apple Watch band made of black motorsport calfskin
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Description
The Apex is our homage to racing – precise, focused, uncompromising.
Inspired by the legendary Porsche 911 GT3 RS , a vehicle that has stood for pure mechanics and uncompromising performance for decades. Its combination of black leather, red contrast stitching, and technical clarity served as the model for this book.
Crafted from fine German calfskin – densely woven, robust yet supple. The surface is slightly matte, with a clear structure and noticeable tension – like the cockpit of a racing car: functional, minimalist, and perfectly finished.
Red stitching and sealed edges echo the color scheme of classic sports car interiors. Every detail is deliberately placed – no ornamentation, no gimmick, but precision born of conviction.
The lining leather from Zermatt is skin-friendly, sweat-resistant, and ensures high wearing comfort even in hot weather. Each strap is handcrafted in Germany with the same care an engineer devotes to an engine block.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs help you quickly find answers to important questions - from product details to care instructions and return policies. This saves you time and keeps you well informed so you can make your purchasing decisions with confidence.
All FAQWhat makes the leather on Apple Watch straps from Germany so special?
Our Apple Watch straps are made of high-quality Barenia and Togo leather, which is processed in Germany. By producing them locally, we benefit from short transport routes, the best working conditions and the highest quality. "Made in Germany" guarantees precision and sustainability - a rarity in Europe.
Can I wear the Apple Watch strap during sporting activities?
The leather strap is not particularly suitable for intensive sporting activities such as swimming or running, as it can wear out more quickly due to sweat and moisture. For sporting activities, we recommend silicone or stainless steel straps.
Are the Apple Watch leather straps allergy-friendly?
Yes, our Apple Watch leather straps are completely allergy-friendly. Unlike leather straps from other countries, they are subject to annual food testing and are extremely rigorously tested for harmful substances. This means they are free of harmful chemicals and ideal for sensitive skin.
Does the Apple Watch leather strap require regular care?
Leather does not require frequent care, but it is recommended to treat the strap every now and then with a special leather care product to keep it supple and protect it from moisture or dirt.
What kind of leather are the bracelets made of?
Our bracelets are made from the highest quality leather hides and come from the most renowned tanneries worldwide. We name most of them by name, but this is not always possible for fear of imitators.
How long does a leather bracelet last?
The lifespan of a leather bracelet depends on use and care. If well cared for, a bracelet can last for several years, but will show natural signs of wear after a while with daily wear.
