Explore Pre-Owned Watches with Leather Straps

From vintage classics to contemporary references, leather strap watches remain a defining element of luxury horology. The 1916 Company offers an expertly curated collection of pre-owned watches featuring genuine animal skin straps — including calfskin, alligator, crocodile, and lizard — known for their durability, texture, and sophisticated finish.

Types of Leather and Buckles

Our watches come equipped with a variety of strap styles and closures, each suited to different preferences and wear habits. Collectors often gravitate toward:

  • Alligator and crocodile straps — rich texture, hand-stitched, and often paired with haute horology dress watches
  • Calfskin straps — smooth or grained finishes for an understated or vintage aesthetic
  • Lizard or ostrich leather — unique patterning and lighter weight
  • Tang buckles — traditional and easy to adjust
  • Deployant clasps — preserve strap condition and improve wrist stability

Why Collect Leather Strap Watches

Leather strap watches appeal to clients who appreciate thoughtful design, lighter wrist presence, and timeless formality. They often pair beautifully with slim cases and minimal dials, putting finishing and proportion front and center. Because leather straps develop patina over time, they also reflect personal history and wear, making each piece more individual.
