What Makes Color 8 Special?
Color 8 is one of Horween’s most iconic leather colors. The deep, rich burgundy hue is famous for its subtle variations in tone, which reveal themselves over time as the leather ages and develops a unique patina. This characteristic makes Color 8 ideal for those who appreciate the beauty of well-worn leather, as it will only get better with time.
Chromexcel Tannage: A Heritage Process
Our Burgundy Color 8 watch straps are crafted from Horween’s renowned Chromexcel leather—a leather that has been produced using the same artisanal tanning process for over a century. The Chromexcel tanning method involves a proprietary blend of waxes, greases, and oils that give the leather its characteristic softness, durability, and water resistance.
This unique tannage provides the strap with a slight sheen, while ensuring it remains supple and comfortable on the wrist. The result is a watch strap that not only looks stunning but feels amazing to wear day after day.
