Hirsch Rally gold-brown 22mm — perforated leather rally watch strap

Gold-brown rally in 22mm

The 22mm rally watch strap in gold-brown takes the drawing of driving gloves: function holes running along the strap, meant originally to lighten and ventilate the hand at the wheel. This warm havana suits chronographs with cream dials and steel cases. It is the visual code of 1960s motorsport.

The lacquered edges

This is the weak point of a perforated strap: untreated, the holes fray. Here every edge takes three hand-applied coats of lacquer. Add the hand-sewn bar seam and safety stitch.

Buffalo, not printed calf

Many rally straps are calf with a printed grain. This one is genuine buffalo, vegetable tanned and semi-aniline dyed: the material keeps its density and its own relief.

No tool, no watchmaker

The tool-free Hirsch Quick Release spring-bar system makes fitting immediate. The lining, waterproof and hypoallergenic, suits sensitive skin as well as summer days.
