22mm - HERU - 1980s - NOS - BLACK LIZARD GRAIN

In the 1980s, straps from the Austrian brand HERU were considered the undisputed "gold standard" of the industry. Their reputation was so high that owners of luxury Swiss watches from Omega, Longines, IWC, and Zenith often chose HERU as a premium alternative to factory straps. The "ECHT LEDER" (genuine leather) inscription in German on the inner side is not just a technical marking, but a hallmark of the Austro-German watchmaking tradition, guaranteeing the highest quality of tanning and durability.

The presented Model 101 is crafted from genuine leather with a delicate Lizard Grain texture. The black color, combined with this fine-grained texture, creates an effect of understated luxury characteristic of high-end accessories. The 22 mm width makes this piece a rare and sought-after solution for large vintage cases, where it is important to maintain a refined silhouette even with a massive watch.

The accessory has been preserved in impeccable New Old Stock (NOS) condition, passing through decades in its original form. This is not just a strap, but an authentic piece of horological history, created at a time when quality was the top priority.
