Most straps make you pick the leather. This one makes you pick the metal too.

Terni comes in four leathers and two hardware finishes: titanium-tone, which disappears into a natural Ultra case, and matte black, which reads as a deliberate contrast. Connectors, keeper and buckle all match. Eight combinations, and the metal is the point.

The band is cut thick with a soft grain on top and a suede finish underneath, so it warms to the wrist inside a week rather than fighting it. It slides straight into the Apple lug with no tools and no adapter. And it is sized for the watches Apple sells right now: the 42mm and 46mm cases of Series 10 and 11, not only the older 44 and 45.
