The Boutsen Racing watch strap is handmade from calf leather tanned with higher amounts of oil. This gives this leather strap an aged and earthy look that stands out from more traditional calf watch straps. The patina of the leather pairs beautifully with a vintage timepiece or racing-style chronograph, feeling luxuriously soft even when first worn.
Each Boutsen Racing leather watch strap is a unique and timeless piece that has been meticulously crafted by hand at a family-run workshop in Oostende, Belgium. Their experienced craftsmen dedicate a great deal of time to creating each watch strap, never compromising on quality and always striving to offer the best possible leathers.
To learn more about the craftsmanship behind this strap, click here.
The strap takes on an iconic racing-style design, with a handstitched edge which has been expertly executed using contrasting thread and hand-painted with a colour stain to match the leather. This watch strap is available in several lug widths, and features a robust stainless-steel buckle with a high polished finish.
Key Features
- Produced using only the finest calf leather tanned to achieve a well-aged looking patina.
- An iconic rally racing strap design in several lug widths to fit most watches.
- A durable and long-lasting strap, handmade in Belgium by experienced and passionate craftsmen.
