Like all our Benetto Cinturini Italian rubber straps, the 324 combines durability and technical performance with understated aesthetics in the best tradition of Italian post-modern design. While there are few things more iconic than a leather rally strap, this racer-inspired design lends itself to rubber quite well actually — as seen with this strap from Hadley-Roma. Hadley Roma Rally Watch Strap It has poofy gills towards the center ends which makes it look brawny and sporty, while the perforations provide adjustability and breathability. Pros

It’s even pretty resistant to some hydraulic liquids, making it a good choice if you work around heavy machinery. Pros From the pair of three-hole sets on each side to the rounded edges, this athletic and breathably comfortable strap partners well with chronographs and divers alike. Pros A new innovation, only featured on this strap, is pre-drilled holes. The holes have been pre-drilled at the factory underneath the strap, but have not penetrated the outer shell. The user is able to punch the hole themselves, on the hole they prefer, which prevents having the normal 6-8 holes down the entire strap. Even a cheap band won’t scratch or get damaged when banged against surfaces as a cheap metal bracelet will, and there’s usually no stitching that can come undone like with a textile or leather strap.It has that “squishy” look you get from hardcore divers but has full perforations, which are placed there for micro-adjustments, but also make the strap more breathable.
