“Perfect combination of cordovan leather and Nomad hardware. I’ve had Nomad bands before and the metal bits fit perfectly to the watch head like other Nomad hardware and look great. The Ashland cordovan leather band looks and feels amazing. I expected a stiffer leather than I received - it’s really supple right out of the box. The finish has a nice low-sheen look that can easily pass with either casual or more formal attire. I read another review mentioning the strap might be too long - that person must have tiny wrists. I have a 7.25 inch wrist and I’m right in the middle setting of the strap. I’m not sure how unlined cordovan fares in water, so I ordered a resin band elsewhere for those times I plan to go swimming. I’m really glad I ordered this band - it just oozes quality, understatement, and sophistication.”
