Are leather straps inappropriate for this rainy season?

Finally, the rainy season is here. This time, I would like to talk about strap care during the rainy season.

In fact, leather watch straps will deteriorate if exposed to water for a long time. Leather is a natural material that can stretch, warp, and deteriorate over time when exposed to moisture. Water can also cause stains and discoloration of the leather.

To protect your leather watch strap from water damage, we recommend avoiding contact with water. If your leather strap gets wet, it is important to gently wipe it with a towel and dry it thoroughly, although it may take some time. We do not recommend using a hair dryer as heat can further damage the leather.

Depending on your job, you may come into contact with water frequently. Or you may get wet when doing water work at home. In such cases, the strap will last longer if you remove it. However, if you use commercially available leather wax, you can use it for a long time. If you go out on a rainy day with an umbrella inside, it will not deteriorate, so please take care of it on a daily basis and use it for a long time.
