Description

Yema, a French watch manufacturer, produced several popular chronograph models during the 60s and 70s: Rallye, Rallygraf, Yachtingraf. The first two originally came on a leather strap with special square shaped holes which is impossible to find today.We went a step further and took precise measurements of an original strap from that time (that came with one of these watches) and produced a faithful reinterpretation using high quality leather.

Our Yema Style Racing Black Leather Watch Strap is handmade out of high quality Italianstampedcalf leather by true watch enthusiasts. It is inspired by the racing straps commonly used with popular Yema chronographs of the late 60s and early 70s. Even though this design is associated with Yema watches, this strap pairs fantastically with a wide range of vintage and vintage inspired chronographs.

Our intention was to create a robust and durable strap which will develop a beautiful patina over time, and only get better with age. Only traditional manufacturing methods were used, along with natural tannins and wax. Each strap is unique and small variances may occur as a normal part of the handmade manufacturing process.

Please note: Our products are completely handmade in a time-consuming process. Each strap is made to order, so there is a lead time of 10 business days.
