Win it: The form•function•form Shell Cordovan Weekender

November 26, 2012 By Joe | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Also, we take your privacy rights seriously. Head here to learn more.

form•function•form Button-Stud Weekender – $56 – $80 w/ DapsToDappered

Regularly $70 – $100 at full price.  20% off code expires in one week and is good on all FFF products.  

Imagine if the tires on your car were worth more than the rig itself.

Okay, well some of us actually have that scenario (it ain’t rusted through, those are just speed holes), but imagine that same car is good looking enough that almost everyone wouldn’t mind driving it.  That’s sort of what’s going on here. Only instead of being barely noticeable like a car’s tires, the watch bands on the new button-stud weekender from form•function•form will grab the eyeballs of any passing watch fan.

FFF “Night” weekender w/ Shell Cordovan band in Brandy.  Studs coordinate with the color of the case.

Instead of a traditional buckle, FFF instead chose to go with the more utilitarian looking button stud attachment.  You end up with less metal, and a smoother look.  It’s easy to adjust how long the strap wears since the stud is attached by way of a matching, rounded off flat-head screw on the underside.

With four watch dial colors and twelve, count em’ twelve band options, you could spend more than a minute or two playing around with which dial/strap options you like the best.  There’s also a few options in Horween’s Shell Cordovan, which on the look & feel matrix manages to marry wet glass & caramel.  Insanely smooth, plenty soft.

Each watch comes nicely presented, and the original Timex nylon strap is included.  If you just want the strap and would rather skip the watch?  FFF has you covered.

Win it:  Enter here to win this FFF Button-Stud Weekender with “night” dial, corresponding button stud, and the Brandy Horween Shell Cordovan watchband.  One entry per person.  Deadline is 11:59pm ET 11/27/12.

UPDATE:  Congrats to Justin X. who won the Button-Stud Weekender in shell cordovan.  Thanks again to FFF!

    Love the strap!

    I’ve been looking for a nice strap and this is definitely beautiful. Can’t justify paying between 40 and 70 bucks for a watch strap at the moment, unfortunately. I’ll keep it in mind though.

    @7d47e0f78ba71c3f5780695d7408aa79:disqus You can get a similar looking band at Michael’s craft stores for like $12. I mean the quality is pretty subpar compared to this FFF band, but it looks close and fits in a Timex Weekender.

    It does come with the timepiece as well. But yes, this is top quality stuff.

    Michael’s is selling button-stud watchbands?

    How often do you think sales on formfunctionform come around? this is the first time i’ve seen one…

    Having one now largely because of the brand-new products, so I’m getting the word out. Other than that, pretty much only when I’m away from the studio on business or vacation and orders will be delayed.

    Glad to know we have such similar taste, Joe: I just told my wife to order that watch/band combo last week. Afraid I won’t get to see it till Christmas, though. Thanks for pointing out this shop.

    These bands are actually pretty competitively priced compared to other leather watch bands. Given that they are not only made in the USA, but out of more premium Horween leathers, I’d say it’s a good buy, especially with the 20% off coupon.

    Just made an order, can’t wait! Thanks for the heads up!

    Really love the strap. Very unique and stylish!

    After briefly looking at some other bands made of Horween leather, I bought the shell cordovan natural with the Night face. Looking forward to wearing it.

    FYI, Timex Weekenders are only $20 through Groupon right now.

    Ordered the watch/band combo Cyber Monday in Horween No. 8 with the night face. Arrived today and it is just perfect. Thanks to Dappered and FFF for an awesome find!
