RIOS New York Shell Cordovan Leather Watchband

The RIOS New York watchband is a masterclass in craftsmanship, blending understated elegance with the durability of premium materials. Handcrafted in Germany from genuine Horween Shell Cordovan—a prized equine leather known for its dense fiber structure and deep, natural luster—this strap offers exceptional longevity and a smooth, glossy finish that improves with age.

Minimalist in design and refined in execution, the New York features clean cut edges, subtle tone-on-tone stitching, and a polished stainless steel buckle. The strap is unpadded for a slim, dressy profile, allowing it to pair beautifully with both vintage and contemporary watches.

Shell Cordovan’s naturally non-creasing surface ensures the strap maintains its form even after years of wear, developing a rich patina unique to the wearer.
