Very sturdy and comfortable. Made with good quality leather.
I bought two of Tuesday blue Barton Racing straps for a Citizen AT8020-54L World Chronograph watch. The Barton straps are much better quality than the leather strap that can be purchased from Citizen and cost less. Citizen's strap is marked "genuine leather" which is a lower grade of leather that doesn't break in but rather tends to crack and get cruddy after several months of use. The liner on the Citizen strap also tends to crack.The Barton strap is made from Horween leather which is a leather than is stuffed full of oils and waxes. If the leather gets scuffed or bends the marks can usually be rubbed out by hand. The brand new Barton strap is somewhat stiff when brand new but begins to break in within the first few days and takes the curve of the wrist. It is very comfortable right from the start. The liner of the strap is a thin piece of NuBuck which is very comfortable on the wrist.The fit seems accurate. I'm using the third smallest hole and it looks like it will fit up to an 8" wrist when used on a 42mm watch. The strap is just a hair under 4mm thick so it is sturdy and strong enough to support a watch of this size. The buckle is well made and strong. The quick release spring bars are holding well but in the past I've removed those and used standard spring bars. For now I'll keep using the quick release spring bars.I was able to get some of these straps in the Racing style and the Rally style for $18.99 but some were about $45. While I was able to buy more straps at the lower price they are well worth the higher price and I bought one of those in black for another watch and will buy more. There is also a Classic style strap available that has no vent holes.I like this leather strap because it looks great, is comfortable, sturdy and made from good leather and is reasonably priced. It also comes in a 23mm width which many straps don't. The Navy blue is a very dark blue that is a close match to the Navy blue dial on my watch. I will be buying more of these Horween leather straps.

Correct
Rien à dire après quelques jours d’utilisation, il faudra voir dans le temps. Les petites aiguilles de fixation sont pratiques.

Nice strap but with sharp edges
This strap is nice. Soft good quality leather but the edges are sharp, where the under leather meets the main leather. A little bit uncomfortable after wearing for a long time. Hope it will wear better once it's broken.
