I think is a custom strap. Made by me. I was looking for a unique waterproof strap on the net and didn`t see any one I really like. So, I decided to make my own. Found a very nice texture piece of leather at my local store. This is what I came up with. My very first strap made. I guess is a prototype. I still need to sew the folds. Please let me know what you guys think. All comments appreciated. Hard or soft. thanks for looking, Joe.

Very well done.. Could do one for me?

Thanks guys for the comments. Will post pics. of finish strap later after I sew it. Yes I can do a strap for anyone that is interest in it, just send me a email. This strap will give your watch a vintage patina look to it with out babying it.

I managed to sew up the stress point and my strap is finished. Took couple of shower with it, still looks and feel great. No stretch in the leather even when wet. Stays very grippy also.

Looks awesome! I like it! Looks like a strap you could abuse to hell.
