Vintage Vulcain Strap in Orange Dollaro Leather
Share
A 1970s Vulcain came in with a problem no stock strap solves: the two lugs are different widths, 27mm on one side and 24mm on the other. Off-the-shelf straps are cut to a single width, so the only fix is an asymmetric strap cut to each lug separately. We made this one in orange dollaro leather.

Why these choices
The asymmetric cut is the reason this strap exists. When a case has two lug widths, a normal strap either gaps on the wide side or won't seat on the narrow one. We cut the buckle side to 27mm and the tip side to 24mm so each end fills its own lugs, then taper the rest so the change is not obvious on the wrist. This is the kind of fit you can't buy ready-made.
Dollaro is a veg-tanned leather with a uniform stamped pebble grain, consistent across the hide, structured and hard-wearing. The orange is a deliberate choice for a 1970s watch; period color suits the era better than a safe brown, and the pebble texture keeps it from looking flat.
At 75/125mm it fits a mid-size wrist, with regular spring bars to match the original fitment. Each strap is cut to the measurements you provide, so an unusual case is the rule rather than the exception here.
FAQ
Can you make a strap for a vintage watch with two different lug widths? Yes. We cut asymmetric straps where the buckle side and tip side are different widths, here 27mm and 24mm, so each lug is filled correctly.
