Hirsch Rally black 22mm — perforated leather rally watch strap

The tone-on-tone rally in 22mm

The 22mm rally watch strap in black takes the drawing of driving gloves: function holes running along the strap, meant originally to lighten and ventilate the hand at the wheel. Tone on tone across 22mm, the perforation adds relief without adding colour. It is the visual code of 1960s motorsport.

A material that ages well

A pigmented leather hides its flaws and flakes. The Rally's semi-aniline buffalo does the opposite: it shows its grain from day one and improves. Slow vegetable tanning is what makes that possible.

Worn every day

A waterproof, hypoallergenic lining, comfortable even on a warm day. Fitting is done by hand, with no spring-bar tool, thanks to the Hirsch Quick Release system.

Finishing

Hand-sewn bar seam at the clasp and attachment, hand-sewn safety stitch on the loose keeper, perforation edges hand-lacquered in three coats. None of it is automated.
