Stirling White Distressed Strap

Stirling White 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 Sterling White strap takes as its inspiration the broken-in, oil-stained coveralls and crash helmet of perhaps history's most celebrated British racing driver. Boasting a natural taupe/grey tone, it will pull double-duty as an accessory to both dressy as well as sportier models. 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.  Handmade 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!
