Product description
Retro is made for watches that suit a little more history. This Italian aniline leather carries warm colour, a supple hand and a natural surface that feels more lived-in than polished or clinical.
Aniline dyes and waxes bring depth to the leather while allowing the grain to remain visible. Because the hide is dyed through, the colour has a richer, more grounded appearance. With wear, the surface may develop gentle cracking, tonal change and other signs of use that become part of its rustic character.
The fuller domed profile gives Retro more presence at the case, while the almond tip and tapered shape keep the overall line balanced. It is a natural pairing for vintage, field, dress and everyday watches when the goal is a warm, relaxed strap that becomes more personal over time.
Care & Patina
Aniline leather is made to show character, but it still benefits from simple care. Keep Retro away from soaking and prolonged moisture, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth, and allow it to dry naturally. Avoid solvents, abrasive cleaners and forceful folding. Tonal shifts and light surface cracking may develop with wear.

Retro - Italian Aniline Leather Watch Strap
FROM EVERY ANGLE
Tannery Heritage
Italian leather craft from Zermeghedo
Retro's leather is sourced from Conceria Jolly in Zermeghedo, Italy, a tannery established in 1979 with experience in bovine leather for furniture, leather goods and footwear. Its colour and finishing expertise gives Retro the warm, vintage-minded surface that makes the strap feel lived-in from the first wear.
Monves Construction
More presence at the case. A softer taper at the tip.
Retro's domed profile gives the strap a fuller start at the watch, then tapers toward an almond-shaped tip. Double-up construction carries the leather's character to the wrist while painted edges keep the silhouette composed.
