Extra-Long Crocodile Strap for Movado Calendoplan
The Movado Heritage Calendoplan Chronograph is a broad-cased watch, and on a larger wrist a standard strap runs out of holes before it runs out of wrist. This one was built as an extra-long crocodile strap for the Movado Heritage Calendoplan, cut to 90/145mm for an order from Missouri so the strap closes comfortably with the tip tucked under the keepers. It finishes in brown crocodile on an 18mm gold buckle to match the watch's warm dress styling.

Why these choices
Most makers stop their straps around the 8.5-inch mark. This one is cut for a wrist beyond that range: 90mm and 145mm on each side, roughly 235mm of usable leather before the buckle. That extra length means the strap fastens near the middle holes rather than at the very last one, so it holds its shape and the loose end sits flat instead of poking out past the keeper.
Brown crocodile suits the Calendoplan's dress-chronograph character. We work with hand-finished hide, not embossed cowhide, so the scale pattern is the real thing and the leather softens and develops a hand-rubbed patina over time. The warm brown sits well against gold-tone cases and silvered subdials, which is why it pairs naturally with this watch.
The gold buckle is a classic style — a straightforward polished frame rather than a deployant or a curved profile — chosen to echo the watch's hardware. We fitted regular spring bars for tool removal. If you run a gold Movado buckle of your own, the strap can be built to carry it instead.
Extra length does not have to mean a clumsy strap. Cutting the taper and hole spacing to the actual wrist keeps a long strap looking deliberate rather than oversized, which is the whole point of building it to order.
★★★★★
“Ordered this strap with extra length for my dad's large wrist and his original 1964 Rolex. The leather quality is exceptional, the clasp is high-quality, and the overall product exceeded all expectations.”

FAQ
How do I order an extra-long crocodile strap for a Movado Heritage Calendoplan?
Send your wrist measurement and lug width. We build the strap to order, so the length, taper, and buckle width are all cut to your watch rather than to a standard pattern.
What counts as extra-long?
We size straps for wrists from roughly 8.5 to 12 inches, well past where most makers stop. The 90/145mm cut here is one example; we set the exact figures from your measurement.
