For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Southern Straps to give MacRumors readers a chance to win one of the company's black leather Apple Watch bands.

Southern Straps offers a range of high-quality leather and colored nylon Apple Watch bands on its website. The black leather band is crafted from a single piece of supple, full grain Italian leather, which the company says has not been sanded, buffed, or snuffed, leaving it with an attractive, unblemished finish.

To ensure a deep, long lasting black, the strap has been dyed with vegetable dye and it features hand stitching with waxed cord. All of Southern Straps' leather bands feature a two-year warranty against manufacturing damage.

The black leather band fits all Apple Watch models, including the new Apple Watch Series 4 models. Southern Straps offers its leather bands with lugs to match all Apple Watch finishes, including black, silver, and gold.
