	Looking to update your watch band? Something different from the traditional black leather watch band? Well we've certainly got some options. But one of our favorite styles of the moment are these distressed vintage-inspired leather watch bands. With a too-cool-to-care perfectly textured leather, they're great for weekend wear.</p><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/vintage-distressed-watch-band-tech-swiss-banner.jpg" alt="vintage leather watch bands">  </p><p>
	The cool&nbsp;<a href="http://www.techswiss.com/distressed-leather-watch-band-in-grey/"><strong>slate gray</strong></a>, the worn-in&nbsp;<a href="http://www.techswiss.com/distressed-leather-watch-band-in-brown/"><strong>dark brown</strong></a>? These watch straps are some of our favorite care-free cool straps. Perfect for when we're cruising on our Vespa in Italy (one can dream).</p><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/vintage-distressed-watch-band-tech-swiss-1.jpg"></p><p>
	So how would we style these? Well they're pretty simple and clean, so they'll work with a variety of outfits. But we're thinking a plaid shirt, cuffed jeans, and some vans would be a good fit. We've seen people dress them up and down - summer linens maybe? But how you wear them is up to you. We've matched these vintage-inspired leather watch straps with one of our favorite cases from Bucasi to showcase them in their full glory.&nbsp;</p><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lea355-main7.jpg"></p><p>
	We think a simple case would be best for this watch strap - nothing too sporty or flashy. This understated textured leather watch straps works well just as it is - simple and effortless.&nbsp;</p><p>
	<img src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lea355.jpg"></p><p>
	We also like our<a href="http://www.techswiss.com/distressed-leather-watch-band-in-brown/"> brown vintage inspired leather watch band</a>, shown here with the same case, it's got a more classic vintage look.&nbsp;</p><p>

Genuine skin means it is the skin of the animal that is mentioned. For example, genuine crocodile skin is from a crocodile, genuine lizard skin comes from a lizard. These genuine skins are sought after for their delicate and unique designs. They'll often come in more saturated colors and have a finer and glossier polish.
