ABOUT
Hirsch Rally Leather Racing Watch Strap has large perforations reminiscent of the details on a sports car's steering wheel.
The origins of the racing or rally strap are unclear, but the benefit of breathability provided by perforation is evident — especially in the summer. In motorsports, certain automotive parts such as steering wheels and brake pads would historically have holes punched in them in order to reduce weight. "Rally" straps — as well as driving gloves and certain other accessories — have co-opted this aesthetic, and the resultant look is killer. The most distinctive rally straps like this one has several large holes, whereas others have multiple smaller ones.
All work great with sporty vintage watches, and chronographs in particular.
