◘ B U N D ◘ [a wide pad that shields the wrist from the metal case of the watch]
This watch band is a "Bund" style watchband. Historically, the Bund was developed for the military to prevent the back of the watch case from touching the skin of the wearer. It's a two piece configuration; the narrow strap which weaves through the watch lugs, and the wider band. This two-piece design also gives the wearer the option of wearing the watch two different ways; with the wider band or for a more conservative look, the narrow band on its own. 100% made with my hands.
Featured here with a Citizens 8110 Bullhead like the one worn by Brad Pitt in the movie, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".

The Story...
My Bund Watchband was originally designed and created for a customer and her husband's vintage Citizens 8110 Bullhead (like the watch that was worn by Brad Pitt in the movie, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"). She had sent me his watch to use to create the template to ensure that the band and strap would fit his Bullhead properly. Now I make them for you. Custom sizing to fit your watch is available. An additional fee may apply. Please contact me prior to ordering.
