The Cortez Vintage Racing Genuine Leather Watch Strap by WatchGecko is handcrafted in Germany from black Italian leather. This rallye-style strap features a vintage scratched design with beige edge stitching and a stainless steel buckle. The leather is designed to age naturally and develop a distinct patina with regular wear, making it suitable for classic chronographs and dress watches.
This model comes in lug widths of 19mm and 20mm. It does not feature quick-release spring bars, requiring standard tools for installation.
Change it yourself
One tool, a spare set of spring bars, and every swap takes a minute.
Fit it, care for it
