Blue Ostrich Leg Strap for Citizen NB1060
The Citizen NB1060-12L is a dress mechanical that rewards a considered strap, and its owner wanted something with texture and color rather than another plain band. This build is a blue ostrich leg strap for the Citizen, finished with a deployant clasp and one specific change from the standard spec: black stitching in place of white. The result adds interest without shouting.

Why these choices
Ostrich leg leather has a natural scaled grain that runs along the length of the strap, which gives a blue strap depth and movement that a smooth calf does not. It is a different texture from round-skin ostrich, with the small tile-like scales of the leg rather than a quill pattern, and it holds up well as a daily strap. Blue is also a color Citizen does not offer on a factory strap for this reference, so the swap genuinely changes the watch.
The change the owner asked for was the stitching. From the order: black thread instead of the usual white. It is a small choice that matters — black stitching settles into the blue leather and keeps the look quiet, where white would have drawn a line down each edge. We matched the request exactly. A stainless deployant clasp finishes the strap so it folds shut rather than threading through a buckle, and quick-release spring bars let it come off by hand.
At 80/130 mm with a 16 mm buckle end, this is a standard-length cut sized to the owner's wrist. You can order the same strap from the blue ostrich leg strap page, or see more ostrich straps and blue leather options.

FAQs
Can I get a blue ostrich leg strap for a Citizen with black stitching?
Yes. Note the stitching color you want — black here — and we build it in. You can also choose the length, buckle width and clasp style.
What is the difference between ostrich leg and ostrich leather?
Ostrich leg has a scaled, tile-like grain from the bird's leg; round-skin ostrich carries the raised quill pattern. The leg version reads a little more textured and subtle.
