I gave this strap as a gift and the recipient really liked it! It’s a great strap for when you want a nice leather option that can still get wet. Looked great on his Tissot when he showed it to me!
I’ve been on the fence about getting one of these for a few years now but I finally decided to give it a try. I wanted a pass thru strap for my Seiko diver but I don’t like natos because of all the bulk and the lack of stretch and Erika’s seemed like a good solution. So far it’s been very comfortable. The material seems durable but also soft and not scratchy like cheap imitations. Erika’s are a lot more stream lined and less bulky than a traditional nato and I really like that I can dial in the perfect fit. Overall I’m really happy with it and I only give it 4 stars because I think they are a little too expensive. As long as it holds up for some years I guess it’s worth it, plus I spent some of my reward points so the price didn’t hurt as bad so thanks Holben’s.
Bought this for my Heuer reissue because I decided I needed a red rally strap. I decided that shortly after seeing this one. The strap is well sized. Not quite as nice as my Heuer strap, but still nice. Fitment is pretty solid. More strap than necessary for my 7ish in wrist. The only real complaint is that it tapers to smaller than 16mm. My Heuer buckle is a little big because of this sizing discrepancy. All in all a great comfortable strap. Will be potentially buying one in tan for a different watch.
Very nicely made strap equal in quality to some more expensive straps. The color of this whiskey strap is slightly darker than I expected but very nice. Needed a shorter strap to work with my deployant.
Shipping was fast, quality strap. The most comfortable rubber strap I’ve owned and it smells great! Will buy again for sure!
Such a glorious strap! I love the colour and the nylon, it looks great on my King Turtle! Perfect!
This strap made my watch wearable. Replaced, as like-for-like with a pin-buckle, for the strap on the SPB121, which I found profoundly uncomfortable. Finally putting this one I can enjoy it. It is comfortable out of the box. It has good bolstering but somehow is also conformant. As the owner of a ridiculously small wrist I really appreciate the availability of the shorter length; it is perfect.
Beautiful quality leather strap. Loads of character. Would look at home on a high end piece or can really elevate something modest. It is a thick piece of leather so be prepared for a bit of break in. Seen here on my Vaer A12 dirty dozen homage.
I had been looking for a blue themed bond strap to pair with my Omega Aqua Terra with blue dial and very happy I found this! The material is very soft and comfortable but also makes for a nice, secure fit. The material is holding up well and doesn’t appear to have any early fraying like I’ve had with some other options. I would highly recommend this strap.
I purchased the blue sailcloth strap with white stitching for my 38mm Omega Aqua Terra with blue dial and absolutely love it. It is very comfortable, lightweight, and easy to put on/take off. I’m a big fan of swapping straps and this is one of my top choices. The deployant clasp is secure and decent looking also. I would definitely consider purchasing other color options for other watches also.
I have a Tag watch w/ the original steel link band & clasp. I was tired of the steel band The watch came with, and it was ready for something new. My brother told me about Erika’s MN & And how much he loved his & should check it out. They were a little pricey, but the reviews were outstanding, and my brother assured me is the best band he’s had. I purchased the gray with the black stripe to go along with my black face tag watch. From the moment it was installed I absolutely loved this band and the way it made my watch look completely different and like a brand new watch. Is a parent so anyone about the price point, just buy one good one and not several junkie ones that will be thrown away. I love it so much, I’m buying another one for my Apple Watch, even though I know they’re not made for them, but I love this band that much. I’m 100% and Eriika’s customer for life
My favorite strap. The pigskin doesn't seem to stretch out like a lot of other watch bands do and it's easy to put on. Best of all it's super comfy.
Very pleased with the Artem Commander strap. Paired with my Bulova Jet Star. All ready for the 4th of July in style.
I have been really impressed with Haveston Parade strap and have many of them. The description suggests that they are a bit dressier and I think that "refined" is a good description. They are a bit shinier and smooth textured, so that they go well with a variety of watches. I bought this for a fully brushed Railmaster, and I think it looks better than a ribbed or highly textured NATO.
Attached picture is grey color stap with batic hms salmon.
I am satisfied with the quality and the thickness. I was worried that it would be too stiff but it was soft enough for me.
Bought this one to replace the stock-but-worn-out croc strap on my new-to-me Longines. The strap is flexible enough on the ends to accommodate curved springbars, which is what I had to use on this case. The color and texture of the leather is about perfect. My only gripe is that I wish the holes were punched a bit further down the tail; I'm usually on the last hole, but this is a pretty small-cased watch, to be fair. Otherwise, can't go wrong with these Fluco straps!
Extremely comfortable quality strap. Little if any breakin time. Quick and easy install thanks to quick release spring bars. 20mm strap. Installed Holben's 18mm brushed stainless steel buckle to match the brushed surfaces on the watch. Always have buckles on hand. Love the buckle and strap. Service provided by Holben's is always top tier. Thanks Mike!
I have a medium sized wrist and I dislike when leather straps overhang too far. Due to this, I ordered a short version of this strap. It's almost a perfect size, in terms of length. The color is just slightly lighter than navy blue, while not being that ridiculous "royal blue" color. Initially, I wanted a lizard or croc grain strap for my Frederique Constant Index Classic dress watch, but settled on this "fine grain" style. I paired it with a deployant clasp, for longer strap life. Overall, for the price, I'm very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this strap, due to it's thin nature, for any dress watch where a blue strap is in order.
This strap really elevates my Citizen Promaster. On a NATO or a perlon, the Promaster is a good watch. On this Hirsch performance strap, it is a great watch. The strap is comfortable right out of the package. I've barely taken the watch off since I put it on this strap. Yes, it is an expensive strap. But if you can put this strap on a watch you already own, you might decide that you don't need to buy a new watch. A luxury strap like this one on a decent watch is a great combination. Fast shipping and good shopping experience on Holben's as always.
This is truly a fantastic strap. The leather is the softest, and most supple I have ever encountered on a watch band. It instantly hugs the wrist with great ease. It has taken my Hamilton Jazzmaster Day Date Auto to another level.
It's a really well made watch strap. Definitely something else than the cheap watch strap you can buy of Amazon.
Fast shipping, great customer service.
I really like the new strap. The color is beautiful. It is hard to believe it is not leather. Looks great on my Hamilton Khaki King. This is the fourth strap from Colareb. I have been very happy with all of them. Holbens Fine Watch Bands has excellent customer service, very fast shipping and quality products. I definitely recommend this company. I will continue to buy from them in the future. I was able to use my original buckle from my Hamilton watch on the new strap. It fits perfectly, and really makes the band look original to the watch. You can't go wrong with any of the selections from this company. If you are in the market for a watch strap, I highly recommend checking out the fine selection on Holbens website. Whether you are looking to replace a used strap or dress up a watch you already own, a new strap makes your watch look totally different and new! No need to search, this is the place. They have many different brands to choose from!
Reality is often disappointing but not in the case of this strap. I returned a Hirsch Liberty strap that I didn’t care for and picked up this Di Modell. It is awesome in ways the Hirsch wasn’t.
Made in Germany(china for the hirsch), padded but not as thick as the Hirsch and the stitching is nicer.
Hi from the UK delivery was a breeze no problems at all for any other UK buyers , the strap itself is fantastic, it looks aged so looks great on my Omega speedmaster pro and the added bonus of the quick release springbars
This strap is exactly what I was looking for. It's even better that I can get to choose a short strap length option with quick release. The quality is excellent, it looks and feels like real leather. I bought this strap a couple of months ago and is holding up great. I'm looking to try the vegan EcoSuede strap. I'm so glad I found such a nice vegan strap for my watches.
