Proper strap care helps your Hampden Watch stay comfortable, durable, and looking its best. Here’s how to care for each type of strap:
Metal Bracelet:
Remove the bracelet from your watch using the quick-release tabs on the back. Pull them toward each other to release the bracelet.
Soak briefly in warm, soapy water using a mild dish soap.
Use a soft toothbrush to clean between the links.
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a microfiber cloth or allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
Leather Strap:
We do not recommend soaking leather straps.
To clean, gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
For tougher spots, you can use a slightly damp cloth or a dry toothbrush for small creases.
Leather conditioners or mild leather cleaning products may be used occasionally.
Leather straps are not fully waterproof, but calf leather often has a waterproof coating for some protection.
Silicone-Backed Leather Strap:
These straps are fully water-resistant.
Clean with warm, soapy water or a damp microfiber cloth.
Regular care ensures your straps remain comfortable, durable, and beautiful, no matter the material.
