Curved-End Strap for Rolex Explorer 124270
The Rolex Explorer 124270 wears clean and understated, so anything that breaks the line between strap and case stands out. A standard straight-end strap leaves a small wedge of daylight at the lugs. This build closes it: a curved-end strap in black Alran goat leather, with the ends cut on an arc so the leather sits flush against the 36mm case the way the steel bracelet does.

Why these choices
A curved-end strap is cut so the tip follows the curve of the lugs instead of stopping short in a straight line. On the Explorer that means the leather meets the case with no gap, closing the look the bracelet gives you. It is the detail that makes a leather strap read as made for the watch rather than adapted to it. If you want a custom leather watch strap that sits flush on a sports Rolex, the curved end is the fitment to ask for.
The leather is black Alran, a fine-grained goat leather from the French tannery of the same name. Goat skin is finer and a little softer than cowhide, and the black takes a restrained matte-to-satin finish that keeps the Explorer understated. For a watch you wear every day, a black leather strap is the versatile choice that works with everything.
It was built at 70/115mm with a 16mm stainless buckle and quick-release spring bars for tool-free swaps. We ship curved spring bars in the ordered size, but on a watch like the Explorer we recommend keeping the original spring bars, which are matched to the case. You can order this as a custom curved-end strap cut to your own reference.

FAQ
Will a curved-end strap fit the Rolex Explorer 124270? Yes. The ends are cut on an arc to the case profile so the strap sits flush at the lugs. Because we build to your watch, the fit is specific to the 124270's 36mm case.
Do I need to change the spring bars? Not necessarily. The strap ships with curved spring bars in the correct size, but we recommend reusing the Explorer's original spring bars, which are made for the case.
