Barton Horween leather race strap in caramel brown

Post by jkbarnes »

Just got this new strap from Barton today. I think this caramel color (akin to CW’s camel) is a perfect match for the C65 AM GT LE. The quick release pins are an added bonus. Now to add a deployant clasp to it.

with my eyesight and lack of dexterity, the QR pins are a must!

Suits it well! Race/rally straps are just the thing with a chronograph, especially with a vintage vibe. Good pickup.

Andrew, have you tried a deployant clasp with the Horween strap yet? If so, how does it fit?

I really like that combo, Andrew.

There's something about a black dial chronograph on a brown leather strap. Probably explains why my Speedy spends the entire winter on my personalised "Footycrazy" strap.

Not yet. I’ve got two coming from StrapMeister. As soon as they get here, I’ll try them out and report back. Keep an eye out for the thread.

I have a kind of loosely held rolling top 5 (ish) of watch and strap combinations on the forum that I favour at any one time or another. You’ve made the top five ( ish)! Looks great :thumbup:

Since I have the same combo, I guess I must be in the top 5 (ish) too. :D
