Black sharkskin watch strap for Yema Superman Bronze, golden brown side stitch

Black Sharkskin Strap for Yema Superman Bronze

The Yema Superman Bronze is a French dive watch in a bronze case that patinas as it ages. Its owner wanted a leather strap that would keep pace with that warmth and stand up to daily wear, rather than the rubber and steel a diver usually gets. The build is a black sharkskin strap, padded and side-stitched in golden brown, fitted to a gold Omega-style deployant clasp.

Why these choices

Sharkskin is one of the toughest of the exotic leathers, with a dense, tooth-textured grain that reads well against a rugged tool watch. In black, it grounds the bronze case rather than competing with it, and the golden brown side stitching picks up the warm metal without shouting. It is a combination that leans into the bronze diver look instead of dressing it down completely.

From the bench, the makers fitted the strap to a gold Omega-style deployant clasp, which is why the strap ends are finished for that clasp rather than a standard pin buckle. The strap is padded for comfort under the weight of the case and tapered toward the clasp so it does not look bulky. At 80/130 mm with an 18 mm width, it is sized for a straightforward, secure fit.

You can see more of the same leather in our sharkskin collection and the wider run of black leather straps, all cut to measure through the custom strap configurator.
