Vintage motor sports played a big role in influencing the watch straps we see today. In order to keep the weight of the race car down to a bare minimum, perforations were introduced everywhere from the steering wheel, leather seats, to even the drivers gloves. With this history, it's no wonder why these straps pair up so well on chronographs from the likes of Heuer & Omega.
Crafted from full grain Italian leather with a waxed finish, you'll experience first hand as the strap ages beautifully with wear. With attention to detail, each strap is taper cut with precision revealing the straps edges enhancing the vintage look. In it's final stage, two stitches are carefully sewn by hand with a premium waxed thread.
Due to the nature of this leather, each strap can have different markings making each strap unique with it's own character. It's reddish undertones can range from a darker red to a lighter red in color.
