Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women.

Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. They work only with tanneries that produce ecologically and ethically responsible leather, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps.

Fluco's Biarritz collection is handmade in Germany using genuine goatskin leather from the best tannery in France. Goatskin has a natural marble-like grain that will vary slightly between straps. The Biarritz is extremely slim and supple (requiring virtually no break-in time), but retains excellent dimensional stability. Contrasting white stitching seams are double-stitched at the lug and buckle ends. The edges of each strap are painted, sanded and polished several times by hand. The French calfskin leather lining is water resistant and hypoallergenic.

A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Perfect for my Chrono Master

A vintage like strap to go with Nivada's new update to the chronomaster sea diver aviator! This watch should have come with a strap like this. Why buy garbage on Amazon when you can get quality from Holbens!

Beautiful blue goatskin strap…

Love the powder blue color….seems well-made as far as stitching and quality of leather, as well as subtle texture…low-key but classy. However, I am still perplexed as to why there is no indication on the underside of the strap that it’s goatskin….just the handmade in Germany…. Would have appreciated that…

Fantastic quality and a perfect fit for my vintage watch

I was looking for a long time for a band that was thin and fine enough for my vintage Longines 22L watch from my grandfather. This band fits the bill! It looks great on there, feels very comfortable, and is perfect for every-day wear. I have small wrists, so the small size option is very much appreciated. It is also a very good value for the quality!

High quality at a great price

I’ve had my eye on the Fluco Biarritz line for several months now. I’ve read several reviews praising the strap and finally decided to order one for myself. Upon arriving I noticed how tidy and well done the stitching is. The leather is beautifully grained, pliable and you can feel the quality once on the wrist. The red racing version that I purchased pairs well with my Nomos Club 703.1 and makes the red hands pop. I will look to add a Navy version down the line. I almost forgot to mention that Fluco sources their leather from the Alran tannery in southern France. As always, Mike shipped the strap quickly and well packed.

Great Strap at a Great Price!

This is a beautiful strap at a very reasonable price. The orange color -- which is a bit hard to find -- looks fantastic with my new Citizen diver with the blue face!

Grey goat strap

Firstly, this is a very good quality strap and worth every penny. It's stiff but only as to keep its form being still comfortable and sure will soften up.

Color grey has a definite blue hue but still very much grey especially in certain lighting. A beautiful color and straight speaks luxury and style.

Fluco killed it again

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.

Another Winner 🥇

Just put this 19mm taupe colored Biarritz (Montana) goatskin band on my Longines Heritage and man does it ever look great, (atleast to me anyhow) LOL… Love this color and it is a little more on the gray side and exactly what I was looking for… I have another one of these Biarritz bands so I knew just how supple and comfortable it would be…. Love the taper of the band from 19mm to 16mm It makes a difference in comfort…I put a Longines buckle to complete the look…. Highly recommend this band on a dress watch and a sports watch as well…. As usual Mike at Holben’s was not only helpful and answers inquiries quickly but shipped the band like “greased lightning”….! Once again Holben’s gets a 5 STAR 💫 rating…💯👍

fantastic strap

a great shade of blue. perfect taper. just right in all aspects.

Great quality and value!

Big fan of the construction, leather quality, and strong taper. This is a great option if you’re looking for a “rally-style” perforated leather strap that doesn’t break the bank.
