Racing

Racing watch straps in perforated calf leather have their roots in 1960s motorsport, where the ventilation holes provided comfort in cockpit environments. Today they are a popular choice for chronograph watches and sports watches with a retro feel. At Tid & Ting there are racing straps in brown and black, in 18, 20 and 22 mm.

Choosing the right width

Measure the distance between the lugs of the watch, on the inside, in millimetres, and choose the same width on the strap. The straps come in 18, 20 and 22 mm.
