Size Guide
The ‘lug width’ is simply the internal width measured between the lugs (where the watch strap fits) of the watch.

Introducing the new Cortez Vintage Racing Genuine Leather Watch Strap – a perfect blend of elegance and durability. Handcrafted in Germany by experienced artisans, this strap is made from luxurious Italian Tiber Leather, offering long-lasting strength while developing a rich patina as it ages, enhancing its character over time.
Recognised for the distinctive patina that comes with wear over time, these Tiber Leather straps have a unique character that is perfectly complemented by a vintage scratched design and subtle v-stitching. Adorned with a timeless stainless steel buckle, this artisanal strap showcases beige edge stitching for a striking contrast against the leather, and its colour-matched painted edge makes it the perfect complement to any dress watch.
Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, the Cortez Racing Leather Watch Strap is the perfect choice to pair with plenty of popular luxury watches. Available in an array of striking neutral colours with a complementary paint sealed edge, the Cortez strap makes not only for a fashionable accessory but a long-lasting premium companion to your watch.

- Handcrafted in Germany using genuine Italian Tiber leather.
- Perforated pattern inspired by vintage racing gloves and cars.
- Classic cut-edge design with sealed edges for style that lasts.
- Natural ageing patina.
- A variety of striking colours.
- Length: 115mm/80mm.

About Tiber Leather
Tiber Leather is a premium cowhide known for its incredible durability and luxurious feel. Traditionally used in belt-making, this leather is thick and resilient, making it the ideal choice for watch straps that are built to last. Over time, Tiber Leather develops a natural patina, giving each piece a unique character that enhances its appearance. The leather's natural longevity, combined with its softness and flexibility, ensures a comfortable fit on the wrist while maintaining the robustness needed to support your timepiece.

Why Choose a Cortez Vintage Racing Genuine Leather Watch Strap - Mahogany ?
Premium Italian Tiber Leather
Crafted from genuine Italian Tiber leather, this strap offers a strong yet comfortable feel on the wrist, with the ability to develop a rich natural patina over time
Vintage Racing Character
The perforated design takes inspiration from classic racing gloves and vintage cars, giving the strap a sporty edge while keeping the overall look refined.
Refined Finishing Details
Subtle V-stitching, beige edge stitching and colour-matched sealed edges give the Cortez a polished finish that works beautifully with both dress and sports watches.
