Aniline Brilliance
Danish leather aniline dyed to achieve deep, brilliant colours without losing the natural grain. Premium aesthetic that maintains the "naked" authenticity of the hide — each band shows unique grain character.
Engineered for Strength
5-20 kgf lateral slide-out resistance — industry-leading for leather bands. Won't accidentally release from Apple Watch lugs under arm movement, gym use, or daily activity. The MIM-tolerance hardware is what enables this.
Sustainable Source
Ecco's Danish tannery is one of the most environmentally certified leather sources in the world — byproduct hides, low-impact tanning, certified facilities. Premium leather without the sustainability question marks.
Modern Band Ecco vs Modern Band Brown/Horween
Ecco version uses Danish leather — typically more uniform colouring with subtle texture. Brown/Horween version uses Chicago Horween Co. leather — more pronounced texture and colour variation. Both develop patina; Horween's is more dramatic, Ecco's is cleaner. Pick Ecco for refined uniformity; Horween for rugged character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swim or shower with it?
No — leather should not be submerged. For water/sport use, switch to Nomad's Rugged Band, Sport Band, or Active Band Pro (all FKM rubber). Light sweat from daily activity is fine; pool water and chlorine will damage the leather.
What does "aniline dyed" mean?
Aniline dyes are transparent dyes that penetrate the full thickness of the leather, allowing the natural grain to show through. Other dyes are opaque pigments that sit on the surface, hiding grain character. Aniline is the premium dye process used for the most expressive leather goods.
How does the Ecco leather age?
Develops a smooth, refined patina over months of wear. Less dramatic than Horween (more uniform colour change), but still develops rich character. The aniline dye lets the natural grain features come through more visibly as the leather ages.
Why partner with Ecco?
Ecco is one of the most environmentally certified leather tanneries globally. Their byproduct sourcing, low-impact tanning processes, and Leather Working Group certifications match Nomad's sustainability priorities while delivering premium quality.
Is the slide-out resistance the same as Horween version?
Yes — 5-20 kgf rating is consistent across Nomad's leather band lineup. The MIM 316 stainless steel hardware is identical; the difference is just the leather source.

Dog likes it, but is very hard material around smaller dogs when he is playing and running
Color: Blue
My 22lb dog loves this chew. We have owned it just for one day. He immediately loved it and he races through the house holding it in his mouth like a grand prize.
I have concerns to the hardness of the ends of it, the material is very hard, and the tail comes to an end shape that could hurt other pets in a multidog home if it hit or stuck in them. I have two smaller chihuahua dogs, one who has lost an eye so this is something to be careful about with other dogs running with this toy. This may not affect a one dog home. Best to observe the dog while playing with it around others.

Withstands very aggressive chewing
Color: Blue
We have a very active and aggressive chewer. Items identified for aggressive chewers are “Gone in 60 Seconds”. This toy is amazing. It has withstood Jake’s many attempts to destroy it and is one of his favorites! It is not hard like acrylic but is hard rubber with some give decreasing risk of fractured teeth. Best toy yet!!!

Great chew toy

I bought this almost a year go. My dog is still chewing on it! Nothing last this long with her. She is a 100lb Rottweiler that is a strong chewer.

Well loved
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
We just got this sweet girl from the shelter a few days ago. She's had this toy for 2 days and already chomped off one of the legs. She does have other toys so she doesn't play with this one all the time but she does like it a lot! It's very hard and durable on the ends. But as you can see, it's not indestructible. She carries this little guy around the house like they're BFFs. It's super adorable.

Happy hound!
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
My 2 yr old bloodhound destroys every toy in minutes, but not this one. My husband and I actually buy toys to see how long they last for fun. Although the croc is NOT indestructible, it lasts a whole lot longer than most. After an hr or so, I took away the only piece he's chewed off which is part of the back leg. Otherwise nothing else is missing off the croc. Our boy has been very occupied with this new toy and we're satisfied with his new distraction!
