Best Watches for Leather Straps

Our picks

1. 1.

   Cartier Tank Must

   Cartier

   $3,600–$4,200

   The Tank was born on a leather strap in 1917 and still looks best there. The rectangular case demands a slim, vegetable-tanned strap — nothing else fits the aesthetic.

   JLC Reverso Classic

   JLC

   $7,000–$8,500

   Hamilton Intra-Matic Auto

   Hamilton

   $900–$1,200

   The open-heart movement and 1960s dress aesthetic make this one of the best value leather-strap watches. The 40mm case sits flat and the 19mm lugs accept most standard straps.

   Tissot

   $500–$600

   Patek Calatrava 6119

   Patek Philippe
