We have crafted a watch strap for the Grand Seiko SLGC009 using Babel leather (calfskin). It features a no-stitch finish on the back, achieving both a smooth feel against the skin for comfortable wear and a clean aesthetic.
We also cater to special shapes such as curved ends, convex, and concave. We can custom-make straps with specifications not found in off-the-shelf products.

About the Grand Seiko SLGC009
The SLGC009 is a model equipped with Grand Seiko's 9S mechanical movement. It is one of the collections that embodies Grand Seiko's pursuit of "the essence of a watch"—accuracy, legibility, and beauty—condensing the best of Japanese watchmaking technology.
The distortion-free mirror finish achieved by Zaratsu polishing, the multi-faceted indexes, and the dial that creates contrast between light and shadow are all hallmarks of Grand Seiko's aesthetic. For watches that speak through the quality of their finish, a simple strap that highlights the material works exceptionally well.
The Finish of Babel Leather (Calfskin)
Babel leather is calfskin characterized by its fine grain surface and soft texture. It adapts easily to the wrist from the first wear, developing a natural patina over time.
Unlike the strong presence of alligator or Cordovan leather, Babel leather is a subtle material that enhances the watch's design. For models like the SLGC009, where the beauty of the finish is the main appeal, combining it with calfskin that doesn't overpower the watch is highly effective.
No Stitching on the Back Finish
For this strap, we've used an optional no-stitch finish on the back. While regular straps show stitching on both the front and back, this finish results in a smooth back surface.
Since there are no seams on the surface that touches the skin directly, the wearing comfort is smoother. This option is chosen by those who pay attention to unseen details and wish to reduce skin irritation during prolonged wear.

Support for Special Shape Strap Production
At our store, we support the production of various special strap shapes. We will suggest the optimal shape according to your watch case and preferences.
Curved End Finish
A shape where the strap attachment part follows the curve of the case. This eliminates gaps with the case, creating a unified look.
Convex Shape
A three-dimensional shape where the center of the strap is raised. It fits the wrist easily when worn and gives a classic impression.
Concave Shape
A shape where the center of the strap is indented. This design is suitable for thin watches and sporty models.
Please consult us about shapes other than those listed above. If you send us photos or diagrams, we will let you know if we can accommodate them.
Reference for Material and Color Selection
For those who are unsure which material or color suits their watch, we offer a Colour Coordination page. You can view examples of leather color and material combinations matched to various watch models. Please use it as a reference before ordering.
