Leather Straps on Tool Watches
Hi WatchCrunch fam!! Does anyone wear their tool watches on leather? I think a distressed leather strap looks cool on vintage and vintage inspired watches. What are your thoughts?

Yeap!! I actually do…. No very often, I also prefer rubber bands and nato’s. But, certainly looks awesome.
Hear, hear! I only wear leather straps; only exception two divers which are on rubber.
Absolutely
Great pairing! What’s the leather strap you’ve got on it there? Single pass by chance?

Thank youuuuuu!!! I do like rubber on skin divers and NATOs on military divers

It's a 20mm single pass crazy horse leather NATO that I bought from Amazon years ago!! It's distressed and has a patina to it!!! Fits the vibe of my VAER C3
Absolutely. Gives my Dirty Dozen (homage) even more of a vintage feel. Dig the look

I think it pairs really well with a scratched up tool watch with patina
Yes I do.
That combo reminds me of World War II field watches!!!
And another example:
A classic!!!
Some great watches!!!
You said, "I think a distressed leather strap looks cool on vintage and vintage inspired watches."
I couldn't agree more. My newest brand-new watch. I bought this specifically because of the vintage styling / appearance. The strap really pulls it all together.

KILLER COMBO 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely! I love a field watch on a leather nato! Just about any vintage style watch looks great on leather. Your Tradition looks great with some wear on it, btw. Very tough. 💪🏾

Your collection is GREAT!!! As they say, use your tools
I do! And I get it wet and dirty and wet again and it doesn’t make any difference. Just makes it look cooler imo.

I love me a distressed leather strap (so long as it is a casual one instead of a dressy)
