Black Epsom Leather Rally Watch Strap – Orange Racing Holes & Stitch
$75.00
Lug & Clasp Width
Lug width is the gap between the two lugs of your watch case, where the strap fits. Your strap has to match it exactly.
Most watches are 18, 20 or 22 mm. Measure inner edge to inner edge with a ruler — or flip your old strap over: the width is often printed inside.
Deployant straps read lug / clasp: 20 / 16 mm is 20 mm at the watch, 16 mm at the folding clasp.

Clasp width
The width of the strap where the folding clasp sits — the second number. We make clasps in 16, 18 and 20 mm. Measure inside the frame, where the strap passes through.

Strap Length Guide
A deployant strap has two equal halves that meet at the folding clasp under your wrist. 110 / 110 mm means 110 mm on each side.
Wrap a soft tape — or a paper strip — just above the wrist bone. Snug, not tight. Then find your size below.

Straight or curved end?
This is the end of the strap that meets your watch case.
Straight end — cut straight across. Fits almost any watch; a small gap at the case is normal.
Curved end — cut in an arc to follow the round edge of the case, so the strap sits flush with no gap. Tell us your watch brand and model and we’ll match the curve.
Not sure? Choose Straight — it fits everything.

Keepers
The two small leather loops on the buckle half — the strap tail slides through them so it lies flat.
- Match leather — both loops in the strap's own leather.
- Match underlay — both loops in the colour under the holes.
- One colour — one colour for both loops.
- Two colours +$5 — the Top loop and the Bottom loop each in their own colour.

On padded straps the number is the height at the centre; the edges are thinner.

- Sports / diver / large case (over 13 mm)4.5–5.5 mm
A good rule: the thicker the watch case, the thicker the strap can be.
Check the gap between your lugs and the case. Some watches have a tight gap, and a thick padded strap may not fit. If unsure, send us a photo of your watch in the Note / Watch Photo fields and we'll confirm before cutting.

The leather
Epsom Calfskin
The rally strap was made for drivers: the holes cut weight and let air to the wrist through a long stint behind the wheel, and the pattern became the look of motorsport in the sixties. Cut here from Epsom calfskin, whose tight embossed grain keeps its shape and resists the scratches a racing strap collects.
Built for daily wear
Watch Strap Structure
Every strap is built around the three details that decide how it lives on your wrist — not the ones that photograph well.
-
01
Quick release spring bars
Choose quick release or regular spring bars. We fit them before it ships, so you can change straps in seconds — no tools, no scratched lugs.
-
02
Soft Zermatt lining
The underside is lined with soft, water-resistant Zermatt — comfortable against the skin all day, and in warm weather.
-
03
Your name on the lining
Initials or a name, hand-stamped into the lining free of charge, so the piece on your wrist is one of one.
