Inspired by our Ensign vintage style watches. Our Ensign Strap Showcase features a selection of some of our Geckota straps that embody the sophistication that goes with classic watches, so you can have that vintage look and feel from a durable watch strap.
Our strap collection features a range of leather textures and finishes, as well as stitching techniques to suit any vintage timepiece. All our Geckota leather straps also benefit from polished stainless-steel buckles, with quick-release spring bars for hassle-free fitting. Want to see our leather straps in action, fitted on our Ensign dress watches? Check out or video below.
Handmade with care by our partner’s Spanish workshop, the Haswell gives a deluxe look to any vintage watch. The Haswell is made from top grain calf leather with an oiled finish and black painted edges, that looks and feels luxurious. Lined with French tanned anti-sweat leather, the strap is comfortable and won’t discolour with prolonged wear. This vintage style strap stands out thanks to the contrasting stitching that follows the entire length of the strap.
Our soft and smooth Stanway straps are made from genuine Italian suede leather, tanned by a tannery located in the heart of Tuscany. The process of crafting our suede straps makes them beautifully soft, and benefit from a French calf-leather lining that makes them comfortable to wear. The Stanway also features a contrasting stitch, for an elegant look that goes well with any vintage timepiece.
The Haswell is handmade from Horween Chromexcel leather from Chicago, USA, who have been tanning and producing high-quality leather pieces for over 100 years. This leather is very durable and well-known for how it ages to create a beautiful, distressed look over time. The strap has been fitted with a premium calf-leather lining provided by a tannery in France and contrasted stitching, giving the Haswell the comfort and luxurious look to compliment your vintage watch.
The Highley has a look of pure luxury utilizing thick padded Italian leather and a contrasting stitch that follows the entire length of the strap. The waxed finish gives this watch a well-aged vintage look while making the Highley durable and long-lasting. Looking closely, you’ll notice the black painted trim along the edges. It’s the ideal watch strap for any vintage watch fans who are looking for a strap to accompany their timepiece for the years to come.
Like the Haswell, our Durham watch strap is handmade from genuine top grain calf leather at our partner’s workshop in Spain. The Durham features a black painted edge and an oiled finish. This helps make the strap durable while giving it a subtle feel and shine. The Durham is also lined with French tanned anti-sweat leather making the strap practical and comfortable, while looking well-aged to suit any vintage timepiece.
We’ve handpicked this selection of Geckota leather watch straps as we feel they compliment the vintage style of our Ensign watch collection the most. This isn’t to say that other styles of watch straps won’t be compatible with Ensign!
