StrapHabit Racing straps are crafted from leather sourced from the Chicago-based Horween tannery. These will initially be a limited release depending on demand.
The truth is that StrapHabit's founder, Nick, wanted a strap to pair with his racing watches, which we didn't offer. He wanted a classic racing strap with a dramatic patina to provide a vintage look. We decided to produce a limited run to see if other people like the straps as much as we do.
These straps feature ventilation holes inspired by lightweight racing parts and pair perfectly with your vintage or modern racing watches. These are made from Horween's Rowdy leather and are not padded. Compared to our Horween Chromexcel straps, this leather will patina much more quickly, taking on a worn, vintage look after only a few wears. They maintain Horween's legendary durability while offering a look with more character.
A water-resistant leather lining keeps the strap soft against your wrist. The Horween and StrapHabit logos are embossed, as is the strap size.
Watch bracelet removal and installation tool, perfect for removing or installing your original watch bracelet, which likely does not include quick-release springbars.
Many modern watches have tight tolerances, and removing or installing bracelets is challenging with standard springbar tools. This tool makes it easy to compress both sides of the springbar simultaneously, allowing the bracelet to slide out more easily. The tool is also spring-loaded to make lining it up easier.
To reinstall, compress the springbars using the flat ends of the tool, and slide the bracelet back into the case.
Includes a 1.0mm and 1.2mm tips, a screwdriver for swapping, and a padded carrying case.
Featuring a printed measurement scale for precise alignment without scratching your lugs.
Minimum opening: 15mm
Maximum opening: 27mm
StrapHabit brings you watch straps crafted from Chromexcel leather sourced at the Chicago-based Horween tannery. Chromexcel is considered one of the best types of leather for a watch strap. It offers supreme durability, yet feels exceptionally soft and supple to the touch, almost buttery-smooth. The straps are padded, but still quite flexible.
These straps also deliver a character that improves with age. Chromexcel's vegetable tanning process uses a proprietary blend of oils and waxes to create a naturally water-resistant surface that develops a rich patina over time. The oils provide comfort while resisting cracking and premature wear, and also add a unique personality to your timepiece. The result is a "pull-up" effect that shifts colors as the strap is folded or flexed. Minor scratches can also be rubbed off thanks to this effect.
A water-resistant leather lining is applied to keep the strap soft against your wrist. The Horween and StrapHabit logos are embossed, as is the strap size. A high-quality stainless steel buckle features a brushed finish and attractive grooves.
This is StrapHabit's first Horween strap. If you do (or don't) choose to buy one, I'd love to hear your feedback. I'm not sure if these will become a standard item in the catalog yet, so if you want one, I'd recommend not waiting!
