Leather straps can last many years if they are cared for properly. Unfortunately, many watches wear out early simply because the strap is neglected.
Avoid water exposure whenever possible. Leather absorbs moisture, which can cause cracking or odor over time. Remove your watch during heavy rain or washing hands if water contact is frequent.
After wearing, allow the strap to breathe. Do not store the watch in airtight boxes immediately. This helps reduce sweat buildup.
Occasionally, gently wipe the strap with a dry cloth. For watches with handcrafted leather straps, like PRAVA or HUTUM from Nobopatrika, this simple habit helps maintain texture and comfort.
With proper care, a leather strap becomes softer and more comfortable as it ages—rather than wearing out.
