Black Cherry Crocodile Strap for a Baume & Mercier Hampton

The Baume & Mercier Hampton is a rectangular Art Deco dress watch, and its long case looks best on a strap with real depth of color. This build pairs it with a black cherry crocodile strap — a deep red-brown that reads dressier than black — cut long at 90/145mm for a nine-inch wrist.

Strap specifications

Why these choices

Crocodile is the right register for a rectangular dress watch. It softens with wear and takes a hand-rubbed patina, and the black cherry tone gives the Hampton a warmer, more individual look than a standard black croc — dressy without disappearing into the cuff.

The Hampton's elongated case carries a wider strap well, so this was built at 22mm with a stainless Classic buckle to match. It was also cut long, at 90/145mm, for a nine-inch wrist — proof that even a formal crocodile strap can be sized generously without looking out of proportion.

Every detail here is made to order, so the length, buckle width, and tip shape can all be set to your Hampton and your wrist.
