Watch an Urban Gentry video review of the RIOS1931 leather Nature strap on a Breitling Navitimer:
Terrific looking Rios pilot tool band… Thick, solid, good looking leather, nothing not to like, a really tough looking leather band that will support a good sized watch…! I have purchased many watch bands from Holben’s and it’s always good…! 5 STARS
Comfortable and helps balance out my mm300 which can feel top heavy on thinner straps.
This is my 6th purchase from the merchant. Always great customer service & very fast shipping.
Perfect size/length for me as I have 7.3/4” wrist. Love the color which looks great on my Zeppelin watch. Lightly padded aviation style strap brings out the vintage looks even more.
This is a nice strap! It is padded and solid without wearing as stiffly initially as, for example, a DiModell Chronissimo. I like how the stitching isn't always perfectly straight; this gives this strap a handmade feel.
One possible caution to other buyers is that it might be a bit short for you. I have the 20mm version currently on a Hamilton Khaki Automatic, and it is on the second to last hole on my 7" wrist. Even at this setting, it is comfortable to wear all day, and the tail still retains the second keeper well, but if I had bigger wrists, this might not be the case.
Another quirk to note is that the spring bar holes are also larger than usual, which can make fitting this to some lugs a bit fiddly. In fact, I couldn't get it to fit at all on my Archimede Outdoor, which is actually the watch I had in mind when buying it.
