Tudor BB Pro where’s the meat

Tudor advertises on their site that the BlackBerry Pro has a hybrid leather and rubber strap . Unless the rubber and the leather had been ground into tiny pieces and fused together and formed into a Strap , I cannot see how that strap remotely feels and or looks like it’s leather. Several watch blogs have inquired to Tudor for answers but apparently without any success. Does anybody have an idea what that strap is made of and how it’s constructed? Surprisingly it’s very comfortable considering the stiffness.

As far as I know it's rubber on the inside and leather on the outside that's fused together somehow making it wear longer than a typical all leather strap. That's all I got.

That’s what I heard as well Dan. However the top which is textured feels like embossed rubber or sailcloth not like any leather I’ve seen. The two keepers fray on the edges like cloth . One of life’s little mysteries.

Leather out and rubber in. It’s actually a fairly nice strap.
