Each strap is made with true craftsmanship as we use the best in class materials and state of the art manufacturing techniques to create a strap that is unique to the market.
We chose Horween Leather for these straps as it offers an unparalleled blend of quality, consistency, responsiveness, and innovation. As the strap comes into contact with elements around you, the leather will develop a patina, or a dark lustrous sheen, making your strap unlike any other.
Each Traditional Strap is lined by a soft leather backing and held together by durable linen thread. This pre-stretched and beeswaxed thread helps maintain lasting integrity and prevents the leather from stretching and morphing through months of wear.
Each strap is fitted with our custom designed, metal injection molded (MIM) buckle and lugs. High tolerance fit and sharp details are created with this industry leading marine grade 316 stainless steel.
Before getting into the actual band review, I just want to take a moment and appreciate Nomad’s customer service which is top-notch and addressed an issue with my order with humility and grace, which is increasingly rare in this world.
The Traditional Band is for those that want their watch to have a more noticeable presence on their wrist. It is thicker than most other leather bands on the market (a good thing!). It’s comfortable and stylish, hearkening back to when timepieces were analog and more permanent than the digital watches we have today. In other words, in a day and age where “modern” often means cold and synthetic, the Traditional Band and Nomad reminds us that “new” isn’t always better.

Very nice leather quality. The hardware components look very sturdy. Overall, happy with purchase, but for one complaint, it would be perfect if the band was a little longer for larger wrists.

At first, I was worried that the color of the leather might had been too dark. However, the band quickly developed a patina with wear marks in a much lighter tan color, which create a beautiful contrast on top of the dark brown. The name Rustic Brown fits it perfectly. 👌🏼
