Cognac Mohawk Leather Strap
SKU: 201-MWK-COH-19-ST
The Mohawk is a leather I know well. It comes from the Tuscan tanning tradition — a process that adds wax and oil to vegetable tanning, making the surface more robust, slightly uneven, with that lived-in character that smooth leather cannot provide. Cognac is its natural shade: warm, rich, with nuances that change depending on how the light hits it.
The stitching is tone-on-tone. It doesn't seek visibility — it follows the color of the leather without interrupting it. This choice requires more care during production, as the thread must exactly match the leather's shade. The result is a strap that speaks as one coherent piece.
The thickness is 2.5 mm. The edge is hand-finished. Tuscan Vintage leather develops a patina over time — contact areas darken, edges soften, and each strap progressively becomes more personal. This is not a material defect: it's what it's supposed to do.
I envision it well on vintage chronographs — a Heuer Autavia, an Omega Speedmaster, a Zenith El Primero. But it also works on yellow gold or bronze dress watches, where cognac creates a natural, effortless color pairing. On polished steel, it is more decisive, more contemporary.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes are available?
I have this Mohawk in 18x16, 19x16, 20x16, 21x18, 22x20 and 24x22 mm. Let me know your wrist size or your watch and we'll find the right size.
Is the stitching visible?
Barely. It's tone on tone, the thread follows the colour of the leather without breaking it up. This isn't a strap that shouts, it's a strap that reads as a single piece.
How does it change with use?
The Mohawk develops a patina. The contact areas darken, the edges soften. After a few months on the wrist, it's no longer the same strap you bought, and that's how it should be.
Is the colour always identical to the photo?
Not exactly. Each strap is cut from a different piece of leather, so the cognac shades may vary slightly. This is part of the Mohawk's character, not a flaw.
Which buckle should I choose if I have a gold watch?
I have the yellow gold-plated and the rose gold-plated buckle, as well as steel and black PVD. On a yellow gold dress watch, the yellow gold-plated buckle ties the colour scheme together nicely.
