Swift Leather Strap for Citizen BM6992 (Tony Stark)
The Citizen BM6992 Eco-Drive leaves the factory on a strap sized for an average wrist. Owners with larger wrists run out of holes and tuck before the buckle ever reaches the right spot. This build fixes that with an extra-long black Swift leather strap for the Citizen BM6992, cut to 90/145mm so it closes comfortably and still threads cleanly through the keepers.
It went out to an owner in Massachusetts who wanted the watch many fans nickname the "Tony Stark" Citizen to sit on supple calf leather instead of its original band.

Why these choices
The length is the whole point. A standard strap tops out around 75/115mm, and a wrist past 8.5 inches needs more leather on the long side. At 90/145mm this strap carries a 235mm overall span, enough to fasten near the middle holes rather than the last one, which is where a strap sits most securely. For wrists in that range, our extra-long watch straps are built for this exact gap.
Swift is a smooth calfskin with deep color and a soft hand, a little more supple than Epsom, so it breaks in fast and sits flat from the first wear. The red side stitching picks up the red accents common on these Eco-Drive dials, and the curved gold buckle keeps the warm-metal look consistent. We finished the tip round for a classic dress profile.
The spring bars are standard tool-removal bars, which match how this Citizen case is built. We can cut this same black Swift strap in other lengths and stitch colors on request.

“This time around, for the Citizen, I decided to go with VGreen and I'm so glad I did. I am absolutely impressed with their craftsmanship, the fine quality of their leather and the packaging it was in when I received it.”
