the Vicenza Series

My "Vicenza" watch straps are made with buffalo-grain calfskin with contrast stitching and they're lined with a velvety smooth and soft anti-allergenic leather.

I "test wear" every watch strap I have made and the "Vicenzas" 'broke in' perfectly the first day. And they are among of my personal favorite watchstraps.

I had two models made - the "Sport" and the "Pilot."  Both were made to that "magic" 5 mm at the lugs so they are well-suited for thicker sports watches. "Robust" or "beefy" some call it :-)
The "Pilot" is the traditional "Breitling style" and the "Sport" is a domed-in-the- middle strap - but not too domed as I've seen some manufacturers get carried away with. Just right.

Both the 20 mm and 18 mm "Vicenzas" have 18 mm stainless steel buckles.

regular length only - @ 115 mm X 75 mm

"The Vicenza Sport Pilot" looks great on my IWC 3706 and it's a really comfortable watchstrap"

-- Wyeth M., Honolulu, HI

"The Vicenza is an amazing value for the money.  The leather is baby soft and the contrasting stitching really pops! The dark brown color is a perfect contrast to the silver dials of my watches."

 - Steve, B. Washington, D.C.

I got my 20mm Di Modell "Jumbo" today. It's terrific - I couldn't be happier! I put it on my 44mm Glashutte Navigator and it looks fantastic. -- Paul H., Michigan

The "Jumbo" is one of Di-Modell's newest, designed and manufactured to complement today's large pilot and sports watches.

The "Jumbo" is superbly crafted of fine calfskin and is about 5.8 / 5.9 mm thick at the lugs.  The "Jumbo" really is a robust watch strap with contrast stitching often favored for sports watches.

"This Milano strap just floors me. Superb and a very comfortable leather. Worth a lot more than it's very modest price." -- John P., Audubon, NJ

"Vincenza Milano" 

I've seen other watchstraps hyped as being "soft as butter" --  but this Italian calfskin watchstrap really is.  As you can see in the photo they're classic design,  very nicely-made calfskin watchstraps that will suit a huge variety of watches.  Combined with the same superb lining that's used  for the rest of the "Vicenza Series",  they're just smooth and soft all over.
