Petty Brown Distressed Strap

Petty Brown Distressed Leather Strap Much like vintage timepieces, certain broken-in and worn leather straps simply look - and wear - better with age. This was the guiding principle behind the design of our Distressed Leather straps, a collection designed to show a little character from the jump, and to develop loads more with time. Produced in six colors and two lug widths, these handmade, heritage-inspired straps are constructed using premium oiled leather that will develop a rich patina with time and use. Each example will exhibit its own variations in color, pull-up, and minor stretch marks, marking it straightaway as a hard-driving, personalized accessory as unique as its wearer. These elements combine to make for the perfect complement to a vintage racing chronograph, a high-flying pilot’s watch, or a simple field watch. However, these straps' subdued earth-tone hues also make them right at home on a larger-sized dress watch in steel or precious metal. The Petty Brown strap — which is informed by the deep tones of the Stetson worn by a famed American stock car driver — is a particularly versatile choice: Think of it paired with a “tropical” Speedmaster, or even a complicated JLC, and you’ll get the picture.  Analog:Shift Distressed Leather Straps are available in 20mm and 22mm widths with a 16mm taper, dual keepers, and an Analog:Shift-signed stainless steel pin buckle. Made in Italy. Please keep in mind that these straps are all handmade from high-quality leathers. As such, there will be slight variations in color and texture from strap to strap, and yours may differ slightly from those pictured. Crafted from natural materials, they will develop their own characteristics and patina with age and wear — just like your timepieces!
