The Newman bund pad takes its name from Paul Newman — the legendary actor and racing driver who became synonymous with the Rolex Daytona and an effortlessly cool approach to wearing a watch. Newman was known for pairing his Daytona with a bund pad, giving his watch a distinctive, purposeful look that watch enthusiasts still reference today.
The stitch-less finish gives the Newman bund pad a clean, minimal look — no visible stitching, just smooth leather with a quietly understated character that lets the material speak for itself.
Like all bund pads, the Newman traces its origins to World War II, where German pilots wore protective leather pads under their watch cases to shield their wrists from extreme heat and cold. That same functional spirit lives on in every piece we make.
Also known as a leather cuff or watch cuff, the Newman bund pad is handcrafted by Cozy Handmade from full grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather. Pair it with our 2-piece watch straps for an instant vintage look that pays quiet tribute to one of the most iconic watch wearers in history.

Materials
Materials
Cut from full grain vegetable-tanned Italian leather, sourced from a Consorzio-affiliated tannery in Tuscany. Each hide carries its own natural surface character — and over time, the leather softens and develops a rich personal patina, creating a piece with a look that is uniquely yours.
Unique Leather Variation
Every piece of full grain leather carries its own natural character, and because each hide is hand-dyed individually, no two pieces are ever identical. Your Cozy Handmade bund pad is one of a kind, with subtle variations in colour intensity, grain, and texture that make it entirely yours.
Care Information
Care Information
As long as the leather does not expose to harsh elements such as prolonged exposure to heat and water, you can care for it as little as once every 6 to 12 months. Refer to leather care page for more info.
Additional Notes
Additional Notes
Bund pads add thickness to the watch strap, which can cause it to wear approximately 1 hole shorter. We recommend ordering a strap size larger than usual to ensure a comfortable fit.
