RIOS1931 New Orleans | Embossed Leather Alligator Watch Band


The RIOS1931 New Orleans is one of our favorite selections from the RIOS1931 Embossed Alligator Grain Collection.

The New Orleans is made from hand selected, genuine cow leather that is elaborately processed by hand in the manner of traditional leather craftsmanship. The strap is then embossed with alligator grain, the edges are smoothed with heat, sanded down and painted 5 times with edge dye.  Following this top-of-the-line process, each watch band is carefully inspected and evaluated to ensure the final product is of the most superior quality. The craftsman at RIOS1931 then handstitch the creme white seams to complete the artful construction of the New Orleans watch band.
