I bought this strap for my Brietling Navitimer (it has unusual 23mm lug width) and I was not disappointed. Thick, tough, but soft good looking textured buffalo leather. Despite the thickness it feels extremely comfortable on the wrist. I love the rich dark brown color - unfortunately it looks almost black on my photos. The strap has stitching on the keepers - a great feature for durability. I also bought a black buckle to match my Navitimer case color. My only gripe I wish the strap was a bit longer. Excellent service Holben's, 5 stars!
Terrific looking pilot/tool watch strap! Thick and tough great looking soft textured leather. Despite the thickness of the strap, it has broken in relatively quickly and is very comfortable. I bought this strap to compliment my vintage pilot Airain type 20 re-edition chrono. The strap brings out the vintage looks even more. I will be looking at adding some other color RIOS1931 straps from Holben’s in the future. Highly recommended, 5 stars!
I thought this would be a good match for my Hanhart Minos and I was not disappointed. It is well made. I notice most straps do not have stitching on the keepers. This is a great feature for durability. I own another strap where the loops were glued and they came apart with use. The color is true to the photos. Its not easy to find a quality Made in Germany strap, by a family owned business at a very reasonable price.
Initial impression is pretty good, quality is consistent with the price.
I would say the quality is better than you would expect for a $40 strap. lining is made of the same leather as the rest of the band. Even though the strap is thick, it starts conforming to my wrist almost from day one. And it compliments my Seagull 1963 chrono perfectly.
Terrific looking Rios pilot tool band… Thick, solid, good looking leather, nothing not to like, a really tough looking leather band that will support a good sized watch…! I have purchased many watch bands from Holben’s and it’s always good…! 5 STARS
Comfortable and helps balance out my mm300 which can feel top heavy on thinner straps.
This is my 6th purchase from the merchant. Always great customer service & very fast shipping.
Perfect size/length for me as I have 7.3/4” wrist. Love the color which looks great on my Zeppelin watch. Lightly padded aviation style strap brings out the vintage looks even more.
This is a nice strap! It is padded and solid without wearing as stiffly initially as, for example, a DiModell Chronissimo. I like how the stitching isn't always perfectly straight; this gives this strap a handmade feel.
One possible caution to other buyers is that it might be a bit short for you. I have the 20mm version currently on a Hamilton Khaki Automatic, and it is on the second to last hole on my 7" wrist. Even at this setting, it is comfortable to wear all day, and the tail still retains the second keeper well, but if I had bigger wrists, this might not be the case.
Another quirk to note is that the spring bar holes are also larger than usual, which can make fitting this to some lugs a bit fiddly. In fact, I couldn't get it to fit at all on my Archimede Outdoor, which is actually the watch I had in mind when buying it.
I usually love the Di-Modell brand. This is my 1st time purchase of this brand! I am glad I did! The feel & look is awesome. Shipping was very fast as usual. Lots of compliments. Ordering the black one for a different watch.
