I absolutely love this strap! It is tough, and durable. It dries quickly after getting it wet. But, most importantly, its color is a near match to the original stock strap that came with my Hamilton. It's just a longer, beefier version of what was meant to be on the watch in the eyes of its maker. The quality is outstanding. I wear it every day and it still looks new. No rips, tears, or frazzling of the material. The only thing that could possibly make this strap better is a sliding keeper...
