Women's Leather Strap Watches

A leather strap softens the look of a women's watch and feels warm against the skin from the first wear. Straps in this category are either genuine leather or synthetic leather, the latter being the more frequent. Black and brown remain the easy match, while blue, grey and green bring a fresher note to a silver-tone or gold-tone case.

Almost every strap uses a pin buckle, just like a small belt. Excellanc, Just Watch, Eichmüller and Akzent supply most designs, mainly quartz plus a handful of automatic movements. Leather dislikes soaking, so whatever the ATM rating, take the watch off before swimming or a long bath.
