German watchmaker and master craftsman Riemer Oswald established RIOS1931 more than eighty-five years ago. Now in its third generation of family ownership, RIOS1931 is an industry leader for high quality, handmade leather watch accessories.
RIOS1931's Nature strap is one of those products that punches above its price point. Handmade in Germany from genuine buffalo leather, it features the Art Manuel Swiss full-bugg (Rembordé) construction technique, set off by handmade saddler's seams (impressively, even on the keepers). For those with sensitive skin, this strap is hypoallergenic.
Watch an Urban Gentry video review of the RIOS1931 leather Nature strap on a Breitling Navitimer:
Over the moon with this. Very solid construction and nice leather, pairs well with my vintage Tudor Submariner. Fit can be tricky for some watches since the strap flares out and hits the lugs. Fantastic winter strap, feels much more expensive than it is.
I bought this strap for my Brietling Navitimer (it has unusual 23mm lug width) and I was not disappointed. Thick, tough, but soft good looking textured buffalo leather. Despite the thickness it feels extremely comfortable on the wrist. I love the rich dark brown color - unfortunately it looks almost black on my photos. The strap has stitching on the keepers - a great feature for durability. I also bought a black buckle to match my Navitimer case color. My only gripe I wish the strap was a bit longer. Excellent service Holben's, 5 stars!
Terrific looking pilot/tool watch strap! Thick and tough great looking soft textured leather. Despite the thickness of the strap, it has broken in relatively quickly and is very comfortable. I bought this strap to compliment my vintage pilot Airain type 20 re-edition chrono. The strap brings out the vintage looks even more. I will be looking at adding some other color RIOS1931 straps from Holben’s in the future. Highly recommended, 5 stars!
