Black & Brown Vegan Leather Watch — Aalto
Black & Brown Vegan Leather Watch — Aalto
A 40mm brushed-case timepiece from Votch, powered by a Japanese GL20 movement and fitted with a brown vegan faux leather strap that is PVC-free, phthalate-free, and incorporates recycled and renewable content — the material standard is what separates it from most watches that simply swap out animal leather and stop there.

The Aalto is Votch's take on nautical minimalism — a clean 40mm case in a brushed black finish, a black dial, and a brown strap that does the quiet work of making it wearable every day without drawing attention to itself.
The movement is a Japanese GL20 — reliable, accurate, and the kind of workhorse calibre that earns its place in a watch you intend to keep. The case is water resistant to 3ATM, which covers rain, splashes, and the general unpredictability of daily life.
The strap is where Votch has done the most considered work. It is vegan faux leather, but the specification goes further than that label usually implies: PVC-free, phthalate-free, free from heavy metals and flame retardants, no added antimicrobial chemicals, produced with low VOC emissions, and made with recycled and renewable content. The quick-release fitting means you can swap it out without tools — useful if you want to rotate straps or replace one over time.
Each watch arrives in an eco-friendly pouch and box.

About Our Brand Votch
Votch addresses the challenge conscious shoppers face in finding genuinely stylish watches that do not rely on animal-derived materials. The brand provides a focused range of timepieces, ensuring that accessories reflect personal values without compromising aesthetic appeal.
What truly distinguishes Votch is its rigorous material standard; instead of merely substituting conventional leather, the brand utilises PVC-free and phthalate-free faux leather, incorporating recycled and renewable content. This commitment significantly lowers the environmental footprint of each strap compared to most vegan leather alternatives, extending beyond just being animal-free.
Votch views material development as an ongoing process, actively researching new materials and design directions. This approach treats ethical production as a creative challenge, highlighting a commitment to continuous improvement that sets Votch apart from brands that simply make a single material swap and cease further innovation.
