Abstract
A watch strap that includes a flexible strap body, which defines a longitudinal axis and has a portion configured to accommodate a watch body. The flexible strap body includes a wood veneer outer layer that has a natural wood grain, which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the flexible strap body. A base layer of the strap body supports the wood veneer outer layer. The flexible strap body is bendable about the longitudinal axis against the natural wood grain of the wood veneer outer layer with substantially no cracking of the wood veneer outer layer. The flexible strap body is bendable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis in directions both towards and away from the wood veneer outer layer with substantially no cracking of the wood veneer outer layer.
