The Best Straps, Travel Accessories, and More to Gift This Holiday Season

The Best Straps, Travel Accessories, and More to Gift This Holiday Season

| 11.26.24

We get it — not everyone on your list is going to be the lucky recipient of an incredible vintage or pre-owned watch this holiday season! However, that doesn’t mean that timepieces themselves are the only compelling horologically-themed gifts: Indeed, Analog:Shift offers a wide array of leather and rubber straps; travel tubes and rolls; and watch display boxes and strap-changing valet trays for the budding (or diehard) collector. Produced from the very best materials by OEM manufacturers in Italy, top brands in Switzerland, and our friends at storage specialists Wolf, they’re the type of beautiful gift that someone will cherish for a lifetime — and perhaps hand down one day to a second generation of watch lover.

Straps

It’s incredible how a new strap can completely change the character of a watch. Thankfully, we carry myriad types, from bovine leather to vegan leather, rubber, and everything in between.


Caribbean Blue II Saffiano Strap ($49)

Black Widow Alligator-Pattern Strap ($49)
