Description
Handcrafted in the United States, the Shell Cordovan Single-Pass combines the functionality of a pull-through strap with the refined appearance and extreme durability only Horween Shell Cordovan leather can provide. Production is extremely limited and this is one of our most premium straps.
*Due to the handmade nature of these straps and leather, please expect some color variation*
*Please remove spring bars when installing to prevent scratching of leather*
Shell Cordovan is the crown jewel of equine leathers, made from an inner layer of horsehide and named for Cordoba, Spain where the material was historically produced. For the Safari strap, we looked to Horween Leather Company in Chicago, a historic tannery known for producing some of the finest Shell Cordovan in the world. Each strap is then handcrafted in the United States in small batches by skilled artisans while being available in two colors, Black and Oxblood.
The Safari Shell Cordovan Single-Pass Strap is intended for refined field watches and vintage timepieces. In addition to being highly durable and resistant to stretch, Shell Cordovan also offers a completely smooth and glossy outer texture. The Safari Shell Cordovan Single-Pass leverages a pair of color-matched floating Shell Cordovan keepers for an elevated appearance and a custom fit.
With subtlety as a core ethos, the W.O.E. Spearhead motif is stamped near the unsigned stainless steel buckle where it will typically be covered by the keepers for an IYKYK effect. On the reverse side, each strap has a Horween Shell Cordovan stamp asserting the material’s US-made status.
Like a great watch, the strap is still a tool, made to be used and to last. The patina that will develop on the Shell Cordovan after use is just a bonus. Measuring approximately 1.4 mm thick, these handmade straps will work on the vast majority of watches, though some may require curved/bent spring bars.
The Shell Cordovan Single-Pass Strap tail isn't meant to be folded like other single-pass straps. Those with larger wrists should position the watch head closer to the buckle end and those with smaller wrists should position it closer to the holes to ensure the right amount of strap tail. Please take care installing the strap as the leather will initially scuff. See the figure below.
This strap is designed to fit wrists up to 7.5 in (19.1 cm). Like virtually all leather straps, we do not recommend wearing the Shell Cordovan Single-Pass strap in the water.

This is my fourth WOE strap, and by far my favorite. This strap is as good as it gets.
Great strap,Super comfortable! Just what this chunky Watch needed.
Second watch band I've bought from you guys and I love it.
Strap arrived very fast. This is by far the most comfortable watch strap I have ever used. Outstanding product and outstanding customer service. Can’t say enough good things about the order.
The strap is so comfortable, I forget I'm even wearing my watch. Absolutely LOVE it.
Love the strap more and more as I wear it. The black leather looks amazing on a couple of my black-dial watches. I recently realized it matches perfectly with my avocado-green Seiko 5 when you flip it inside out!
Iykyk. Glad I was able to get one before they sold out again!
Beautiful single pass leather band. Just the right thickness and maleability.
Love the leather!! Super soft and pliable. Will be getting a black one for another watch of mine!!
This strap is a new favorite of mine! It’s extremely supple and comfortable right out of the box and really adds to the tool-ish nature of my vintage sea-dweller. I also love how the W.O.E. stamp near the buckle is subtle and mostly hidden. I’m really glad I purchased this and looking forward to the patina! Big fan of the YouTube channel as well, looking forward to future content!
Just want to give a shout out to the W.O.E. Fam, amazing product with even more amazing customer service. Top shelf team, don’t hesitate to buy. Best in the strap business!!
Love the look of this watch strap, absolutely stunning, and the leather is very supple. Unfortunatley, I find its quite itchy where the some of the stiching is near the buckle, even after adjusting the position of the buckle and how tight it is.
Really comfortable and classy leather band

Store owner replied: Awesome, love the combo. Thanks so much, -W.O.E.
The leather was very supple and comfortable. Fits the watch very well.
Super comfortable watch strap. I would love to have more.

Store owner replied: Thank you, that is the current combo I am wearing. It works so well. -W.O.E.
Unbelievably comfortable and a great change of pace than the regular bracelet I typically use. I was unsure though if it were supposed to come with a WOE logo? Amazing strap regardless
Safari Shell Cordovan Single-Pass Strap - NEW
Store owner replied: Evan, so sorry for sending you one without the logo! Sometimes these slip through the cracks. I will reach out to get you a replacement ASAP. Thank you, -W.O.E.
Best band I’ve bought to date.
I bought the Oxblood 22mm last week and tossed it in my Tudor FXD and a few hours after receiving it I bought a second one in black in 20mm. Like I said in my last review this Cordovan leather is amazing. It’s one of the if not the smoothest and softest leathers I have ever had. The colors are gorgeous and the quality is tier 1. Definitely hope to see more products made by this company on the W.O.E. Site in the future.
This is going to age well. Very subtle leather. The underside is just as cool as top.
Goes to a great cause, wears great, made of the best material, keep up the good fight, and thank you for offering high quality products that are functional for every day life.
Quick shipping. Wish the strap was a tad longer. Works well with my Tudor BB Pro.
I have the 20mm in black. I like how the unpainted edges contrast with the beautiful leather. The construction is simple but flawless. Nice wide keepers stay where you want them. Nicest leather strap I own.
Awesome high-quality strap made from some of the best leather in the business. Works on a smaller 6.5-inch wrist as well, which not all straps of this type can claim.
Awesome strap! Looks and feels great on my Seiko!
It's great and fit in very well at the wedding I ordered it for.
Most comfortable leather strap I’ve ever worn. Cannot recommend enough!
Beautiful addition to my Sangin Professional. Placed the order and it was at my doorstep in a week! Professional quality products for both professionals and leisure use alike. Top marks for this team and their products!
Beautiful piece of leather. I would like the buckle hardware to feel a little more stout and solid, but I’m happy with my purchase.

Store owner replied: Thanks so much, I really wanted to keep this buckle minimalist in contrast to some of our other straps. Appreciate the support, -W.O.E.
Really was not what I was expecting. I don't feel comfortable putting my watch on it. Is there a way to return it? Love the other items I've bought, and follow all the pics and articles...but this was a huge miss.
Safari Shell Cordovan Single-Pass Strap - NEW
Store owner replied: Robert, I am sorry that the strap did not work for you. I will reach out directly to process a return. Best, -W.O.E.
Awesome strap
Excellent quality.
WOE has changed my outlook on watches i already own and watches im now in pursuit of this strap was a game changer for me
I love the single strap design, and this leather is insanely soft. The color is beautiful, and looks great on my Sangin sog. I 10/10 recommend this product. Buyer beware, you will (most likely) need curved spring bars. Not a deal breaker at all, just a heads up
I totally expected a high quality product from the brand, the band truly exceeded my expectations. It is paired to a Sinn 556 and it is stealth on the wrist
Looks great!
The buckle tang is a bit flimzy, hard to get into the holes when downing the watch, fit was perfect & lays nice and flat, been wearing it on my FXD since it arrived. I have a 7.5 in wrist. Fits through the slots in the FXD nicely. Thanks for the fantastic products, keep up the good work, need more retailers like you in this world.
Great strap!
As always with WOE quality is spectacular!
Just received it today and after pairing it with my explorer 2 don't see it coming off anytime soon! Perfect strap and comfortable! Thank you W.O.E.
