I love curved end straps and the OEM Omega fold-over deployant is the only clasp for me.

After cutting the keepers off of Hirsch Leonardo straps to use the Omega deployant, I was pleased to see Hirsch introduce a Heavy Calf LE with removable keepers. I ordered one immediately but the first one was lost in the mail. Gary at WatchObsession sent me a replacement that arrived a couple of weeks ago,

Admittedly, I wasn't too pleased with it upon arrival. The brown was not the gold-brown of the original Medici but after a couple of weeks of daily oiling, the color is getting deeper and richer. The curved ends seem to fit better than the Medici and Omega deployant works great:

That is a beautiful strap, Fr. John! You always seem to know just the right combo!

Cheers, Bill P.

Looks good. The Medici is definitely a darker shade though.
