There must be many reasons , albeit leather itself is a fancy item to be incorporated into a watch ,Daytona being a sports car more than you say Sky Dweller, Daye Date , oysterflex would suit better and exactly perfect fit for a sports watch . I had a Rolex Daytona 116518 LN with leather . It looked nice but I swapped it for RubberB and as soon as I made that swap , the watch made its presence felt better than it would do with leather strap .
Oysterflex , a rubber variant but as far as I know it's more durable than any leather you would throw at this watch because Rolex being a Rolex doesn't use a regular rubber band , makes it hardened using some mixtures to make it as durable as a regular steel strap
