Genuine Horween Dublin Full Grain Leather Watch Straps
We make these straps using genuine Horween Dublin full grain leather from the renowned Horween Leather Company in Chicago, USA, founded in 1905, as part of our wider range of full grain leather watch straps. Dublin is a premium leather shaped by a traditional tanning process, with a rich natural character and distinctive pull-up appearance, and Horween leather is primarily made from full-grain and top-grain hides. As the leather ages and is worn, it develops a unique patina, building a rich patina and beautiful patina so your strap will gradually take on its own individual character and age beautifully over time.
The full grain surface retains the natural character of the leather rather than being heavily corrected, giving each strap a premium and authentic appearance. This keeps the material soft, supple, and flexible while retaining its structure; it is often pliable right away with little break-in time, and Horween leather is known for its strength and durability.
With proper care, you can help protect the leather, enhance its longevity, and let it age gracefully by wiping the strap clean with a soft cloth after use. Condition occasionally with a leather balm to keep it supple.
Choose Your Replacement Watch Strap Style
We offer two distinctive designs in our range to help you choose a strap that works across different watches and occasions, making it easier to find the right fit for your watch and style, alongside our broader collection of handmade leather watch straps.
Standard Smooth Leather – A clean and refined design with a subtle finish that works particularly well with dress watches, vintage watches and everyday timepieces, helping bridge the gap between casual and formal wear.
Rally Leather – Featuring small punched holes inspired by classic racing watch straps. The perforated design gives your watch a sporty motorsport character and is particularly well suited to chronographs, racing watches and sports watches, while a brown finish adds vintage appeal and pairs easily with different watch styles, complementing other pieces in our Wrist Envy watch strap collections.
Handmade by Wrist Envy
Every strap is made and supplied by Wrist Envy, a UK family-run watch strap specialist established in 2021. We design and create distinctive watch straps as part of a curated collection, creating each piece from carefully selected material and combining quality craftsmanship with excellent value. We use Horween leather for its craftsmanship and reputation around the world.
Our aim is simple: to create horween leather straps that look great, offer exceptional comfort, and wear well over time while providing something a little different from the usual mass-produced alternatives, whether you prefer fully bespoke options or ready-to-wear custom straps. Unlike standard leather or generic genuine leather, which often uses lower-grade materials that degrade quickly, Horween reflects a more premium approach.
Stainless Steel Deployant Clasp
The watch band comes supplied with a pre-installed stainless steel deployment clasp. It helps protect the strap during daily use and repeated fastening. It is designed for compatible pin-button deployant clasps where the clasp end matches the required strap width, and those wanting a more tailored fit can also explore our custom made watch straps.
Available Sizes
18mm strap / 16mm clasp 19mm strap / 18mm clasp 20mm strap / 18mm clasp 22mm strap / 20mm clasp
Please check both your watch lug width and the required clasp width before ordering to get the correct size for your watch and clasp for a perfect fit. Compatibility depends on the dimensions of the watch and deployment clasp. Checking those dimensions also helps the strap match the watch correctly.
If you’re wondering about horween leather watch straps waterproof qualities, Horween Dublin is not inherently waterproof, so avoid full water submersion to protect the leather. If the strap gets wet, wipe off excess water promptly; Chromexcel can handle some exposure to water, and Horween Phantom is a waterproof leather option, and we also offer leather Apple Watch straps for those looking to upgrade their smartwatch, but this strap is made from Dublin.
Whether you choose the understated smooth leather version or the racing-inspired Rally design, this Horween Dublin leather deployant strap is a premium way to give your watch a fresh new look while enjoying the character and quality of genuine full grain leather.
