Collection: Vintage calf watch straps

Vintage calfskin watch straps

Thick calfskin, finished to look already patinated: blended tones, raw edges, pronounced stitching. It's the strap for pilot watches, vintage divers, and large cases.

Our vintage calfskin straps

Most are KronoKeeper straps, available in lug widths from 12 to 28 mm. These are complemented by the Gunny Straps, handmade straps with a distinctive character.

A patina that evolves

This leather darkens and develops a shine in areas of friction: each strap takes on the mark of its wearer. Keep it away from water; the guide Caring for a leather watch strap explains how to condition it.

Width and custom sizing

Choose your lug width, measured this way. Large cases often require 24 or 26 mm: see 24 mm and 26 mm. For a particular width or length, we make your custom strap.

Frequently asked questions

Is a vintage strap a second-hand strap? No: it is new. Its aged appearance comes from the tanning and finishing of the leather.

Will it fit a modern watch? Yes. It warms up a modern sports watch and naturally complements a vintage watch.

Vintage or classic calfskin? Classic calfskin is thinner and cleaner; vintage is thicker and more matte.
