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.
Looking for a strap to suit your pilot or tool watch? RIOS1931's Typhoon is a great option. 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. For those with sensitive skin, the Typhoon is hypoallergenic, as well as supple and comfortable on the wrist.
Another fantastic Rios pilot strap for my Brietling Navitimer chrono from Holben’s! Thick but soft nicely textured leather. Rich chocolate color, contrasting stitching. Terrific vintage pilot look. I wish the strap had quick release bars. Thank you Holben’s, 5 stars!
Great buffalo leather strap. The strap is very comfortable and durable, thick but not stiff. It is very supple and doesn’t need to be broken in. It is just what I was looking for to compliment my Hanhart pilot chronograph. Nice color as well. You can’t go wrong with this strap.
Excellent buffalo leather, it is very supple and doesn’t need to be broken in. I have been looking for a good strap replacement for my flighty because original is just horrific (just my opinion). I know a lot of folks are getting the green nato strap but I’m not a big fan of natos so this is a good alternative if you are looking for something different with a 21mm lug size.
Very nice strap for the price! Supple, yet durable leather. I have a 7” wrist and it fits on the very last notch. I would recommend only for wrists 7” and above unless you are willing to add more holes to the strap. I purchased the Cognac strap and it is a very beautiful color.
The buffalo strap is just what I was looking for to compliment my IWC Big Pilot 43. The strap is very comfortable and buffalo hide so durable. You can’t go wrong with this strap.
very durable. Thick but not stiff. Will be ordering in the future. Super comfortable as well. Couldnt be more happy.
This strap is an incredible value for the price! The leather and construction are top notch and I expect it will last a very long time. Only issue is that it does run a little large. I had to use an awl to make another hole, but the overall length of the strap is perfect.
Perfect for my Seiko Sportura (21mm). Leather is a cut above the cheap Amazon stuff by mile. 8.25 inch wrist fit well.
High quality and great wearability from day 1, with almost no break in period. My only small negative is the buckle, which is good but nothing special; it just gets the work done. Maybe better for lager wrists (fits my 7.5 + inch wrist perfectly). Overall I do really recommend this strap.
