Museum calf is a chrome-tanned leather coming from Ilcea Tannery in Italy, and is iconic for its marbling pattern, with variations in its shades of colour.
The leather is supple with some firmness, and is resistant to scratches.
These straps lend themselves well to dressy watches, and is surely a cut above the pedestrian smooth calfskin strap. It might make for an interesting conversation starter amongst your fellow collectors as they lean in for a closer look and realise the unique pattern on your strap.
