A slim dark-brown Bund for a round watch.

A narrow pad and brown stitching give this Bund a smaller leather border around the case. Use it as a reference for your own watch.

Dark brown with a narrow pad

This Asketica Bund pairs dark-brown leather with a narrow pad beneath a round watch. Only a small margin of leather shows beside the case. The pad narrows towards the strap ends, with brown stitching around the edge.

It is a useful example if you want a Bund with little leather extending beyond the watch. The pad is still present beneath the case; narrowing its outline does not remove that layer.

Brown stitching or a lighter thread?

The thread on this piece is closer to the leather colour than the pale stitching on our cognac example. Choose this kind of combination if you want the stitching to be less prominent. Choose the lighter thread if you want a clearly visible line around the strap.

For your watch

Use this work as a reference for dark-brown leather, brown stitching and a narrow pad. Include your watch model and wrist measurement in the request. The attachment and pad dimensions need to suit that watch.
