Modern Design
Each band is made with true craftsmanship as we use the best in class materials and state of the art manufacturing techniques to create a band that is unique to the market.


Premium Leather
In collaboration with a Danish tannery called Ecco, our team developed a sustainably sourced, full grain leather that patinas over time to develop a dark, lustrous sheen totally unique to you. The leather is aniline dyed to achieve a brilliant color without losing any of its natural features.


Rugged Patina
With daily use, your leather gear will buff out marks and scratches into a rich patina that is exclusively yours. From day one to 100, your band will weather but not wear out, creating a handsome, rich character unique to you.




Stainless Steel Hardware
Each band is fitted with our custom designed, metal injection molded buckle and lugs. Industry leading marine grade 316 stainless steel allows for a high tolerance fit and sharp details. Choose between black and silver hardware.

Does Modern Band work with all versions of Apple Watch?Modern Band works with Apple Watch Series 1-12 and SE 1-3.
-
Will the leather change or scratch over time?Our premium leather is minimally and naturally treated and is prone to scuffing and marking in the first few months of use. With time, scuffs and marks will buff out into a rich and lustrous patina. If you’re looking for a perfect finish, this is not the band for you. But, if you’re after an authentic leather patina, this is absolutely the band for you. For best care, use a high-quality leather conditioner.
-
What leather is used on Modern Leather Band?We spent over two years working with Danish leather tannery Ecco to develop a high-quality and environmentally responsible leather. It is the product of modern tanning methods and is therefore easier to work with.

The leather feels premium and develops attractive patina over time, though many note initial stiffness that softens with wear. Users appreciate the refined appearance for both casual and formal occasions, with the hardware and craftsmanship receiving frequent praise. Many reviews mention receiving compliments and planning to purchase additional colors. Some concerns include leather thickness being thinner than expected, occasional connection issues with one band half, and the need for more sizing holes for narrower wrists.

Expected Better
I was excited to get the band for my Series 11 42mm Apple Watch. However I noticed two issues: 1) The clasps that slip into the watch case don't securely clip in, causing them to slide out. After removing them I noticed the clasps not only have to slide in, but you need to push into the case for a somewhat secure fit. Then, they loosen again. 2) Metal buckle already has signs of the black scuffing off, even though I am very careful with my watch. Need to try to keep it tucked under your sleeve as much as possible if wearing long sleeves. Disappointing for sure, because the strap looks really nice.

Great Customer Service
The band and leather is of the highest quality. I had a few abnormal issues with the one I received and their customer service went above and beyond to take care of the issue. Cannot recommend Nomad enough.
