Collection: Vintage calf watch straps

Vintage calf leather straps

Think of a thick calf strap that looks broken in from day one, with shaded colour, raw-cut edges and contrast stitching. It suits pilot's watches, older dive watches and large cases.

What we offer

Nearly all are KronoKeeper straps, in lug widths from 12 to 28 mm, among them Ferdinand, Louis and Joseph, plus a Tunx series.

Ageing and care

With wear the leather gets darker and glossier at the friction points, a look no two owners share. It should stay out of the water. Our care guide covers conditioning.

Size and custom orders

Measure your lug width first, as shown in our guide. For large watches, look at 24 mm and 26 mm. Odd size? We can make a custom strap for it.

Questions we often get

Is "vintage" the same as pre-owned? Not at all. Every strap is new, and the worn look is created when the leather is tanned and finished.

Will it look right on a new watch? It will. A vintage strap softens a modern sports watch and is the obvious match for an older one.

What separates vintage calf from regular calf? Thickness and finish: regular calf is slimmer and crisper, vintage calf is heavier and matte.
