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.
