Black Stingray Watch Strap for the Tudor Ranger
The Tudor Ranger comes on a fabric or steel bracelet, and a lot of owners want a dressier, more tactile option without losing the tool-watch character. This build is a black stingray watch strap for the Tudor Ranger — a hard-wearing exotic that adds texture while staying dark and understated.
It was made for an owner in Pennsylvania around a 36mm Ranger, with quick-release spring bars for easy swaps.

Why these choices
Stingray is one of the toughest leathers we work with. Its surface is a field of fine pebbled scales with a centered cluster of brighter pearl beads — genuine stingray, not embossed cowhide — so it reads as texture up close but stays clean from arm's length. On a black field watch like the Ranger, the dark stingray keeps the watch versatile while giving it something the bracelet cannot.
We set it at 80/130mm with a 16mm steel buckle to suit the watch's proportions, and used quick-release spring bars so the strap comes on and off without a tool. That makes it easy to rotate the Ranger between its bracelet and the stingray strap depending on the day.
Stingray takes color well and holds it, so the black stays deep over time. We can build the same strap in other colors and lengths for a Tudor or another field watch.
