The calf leather strap without any ginning pattern is slightly dull, but enough to show the elegance of the dress watch. What’s more, many entry-level dress watches also adopt this leather strap. Moreover, a sports watch with a calf leather strap can also become a decent watch that is suitable for business occasions.
