Bridle leather is vegetable-tanned, then hot-stuffed with waxes and tallows: it starts firm, breaks in to your wrist within a week, and darkens into a patina that reads like a record of where you've worn it. It's the same leather we cut our wallets from — bands and billfolds off the same bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmerican hardware, too.\u003c\/strong\u003e The polished steel buckle and Apple Watch adapters come from Buckleguy in Massachusetts, and the adapters click straight into your watch like any Apple band — no tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits every Apple Watch.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two band sizes cover the full Apple Watch line, Series 1 through the newest — including SE and Ultra:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall — fits 38, 40, 41mm cases \u0026amp; the 42mm on Series 10 and newer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge — fits 44, 45, 46, 49mm (Ultra) cases \u0026amp; the 42mm on Series 3 and older\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApple Watch Band FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size fits my Apple Watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck your case size in the Watch app (General → About). 38, 40, and 41mm cases take Small; 44, 45, 46, and 49mm cases take Large. \u003cstrong\u003eOne catch on 42mm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple has used \"42mm\" twice.
