ColaReb, a Rome-based Italian family business established in 1990, is well known for its meticulously handcrafted watch straps made in the Italian tradition of fine leatherwork. The company's hand-stitched leather and vegan straps feature distinctive treatments and are designed and made entirely and exclusively in Italy using Italian materials. Every ColaReb product is one-of-a-kind, and as with any authentically handmade artisanal creation, slight imperfections and tonal variations add to the charm and rustic appeal of each unique piece.

All ColaReb products are made with 100% hypoallergenic, water-repellent linings and hypoallergenic stainless steel buckles. ColaReb collaborates exclusively with tanneries that operate in full compliance with the European Union's REACH regulations and standards, the most restrictive in the world in terms of consumer health and safety.

The Venezia is integrated with handy quick-release spring bars. Prefer standard spring bars? Quick-release bars are easy to remove: simply slide the lever as far as you can to the left, then gently bend back the strap corner until the bar emerges from the slot.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
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.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help me shorten it?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Subtle and classy

My second ColaReb...it's very similar to the Spoleto, but with a smoother, less rough-hewn finish. Excellent match style- and color-wise with my Hammy field watch. Wears comfortably and smells nice, too. Worth it...thanks, Holben's!

Great product!

Great product. Would be hard pressed to find better quality for the money. Arrived as advertised and looked great on my Ball.

Colareb and Holben’s: a great match!

Very pleased with the pairing of this Colareb strap with my Stowa Classic Flieger 36. The thickness of the strap is perfect for the lug design. The regular length version fits my 6.75” wrist perfectly. The strap taper and design also worked great with the OEM Stowa buckle.

I have purchased straps and accessories from Holben’s many times before. As always, the shipping time, the service, and overall experience did not disappoint. Kudos!

Excellent

Beautiful watch strap which looks just like the photos and feels great too. I always come back to these Colareb straps for certain vintage watches in my stable, you just can’t go wrong with them!

Sprezzatura with ColaReb

Forgot how a new strap can change a watch - the Venezia green leather sings with the titanium Duratect coating on my Citizen Promaster Tough and pulls out the pale green of the lume in a way the original strap didn’t. The sturdy leather is thick enough to make sense with the scale of the watch. Developing a beautiful patina, this definitely adds a dash of sprezzatura to my day.

This thing is GORGEOUS

It's only my second strap, but is so much more sturdy and substantial than my other non-Seiko strap! The leather is so soft and supple, and goes really well with the black and white dial. And the fit between the lugs and near the case is really nice. No gaps between anything! Truly can't complain!!

Another Winner from Holben's

I bought the ColaReb Venezia for my Sinn 104. The original brown leather Sinn strap was nice but I wear a lot of black and wanted a black strap to complement the dial. And a bonus was the strap's gray contrast stitching works well with the matte case of my 104. Speaking of matte, I swapped the shiny ColaReb OEM buckle with the buckle from the Sinn strap. This is a dress up/dress down kind of watch strap. It can look sporty as well as dressy (although not exceptionally so either way). The Venezia, albeit a bit thick, was supple and comfortable on first wearing. I have a 7.75" wrist so I got the long size but I think I actually could have used the standard size. And, as always, great communication and service from Holben's.

Hypoalergenic? I think not.

I ordered this band (the 20mm long version) for my Google Pixel watch after discovering their normal bands are all too small for my 8-1/4" wrist. I thought it might be a good idea to go out of my way to try and get a nicer band with people and brands backing their products. I know where its from, what its made of, and (generally) are backed by a face with standards. However, right now I'm not feeling the love or quality I expected for this high of a price. The leather looks pretty nice, the stitching and everything looks to be on point, and it fit perfectly in the 20mm lugs that come with the official Google leather watch band. But.... That's about all of the positives I have to say... Now let me tell you why I'm not going to be using this band anymore after only about a month of use. As other reviews have mentioned, the free hoop is a piece of junk. Its too big for the tail end of the band, its really thin and rubbery, and it appears to be held together by a single, albeit thick, stitch. Pretty it would be the first thing to wear out on this band. Second, the tail end of this band feels like its wearing out pretty quickly as well. The tip of the non-buckle end feels like its de-laminating and its already stained blackish with dirt. Finally, the real reason I'm done, I woke up with a nasty rash under the watch band a couple of days ago. I had to go to my doc and get some medicated cream to stop the burning, turns out its some kinda of eczema that flared up because of this band. I have always had sensitive skin but the listing says its hypoallergenic, so, I felt it wouldn't be a problem. Nope! I'm pretty sure its something in the leather as the worst of the rash was no where near the buckle. Also, none of the rash happened under the watch, it was entirely under the band. If you have sensitive skin, eczema, etc, choose something else. If this thing is hypoallergenic then my name is Sally..... And its not.... Considering I spent $50, I'm pretty disappointed.

Value strap

The Venezia strap is easily worth twice the price. Very comfortable leather with the perfect amount of stiffness requiring a short break in. Texture has a slight suede feel and is starting to show some nice patina. Some reviewers complain of poor stitching, mine looks good.

Mediocre stitching

Leather quality is good, nice color, good hardware. But stitching leaves a lot to be desired. Not straight at all. I have many other handmade and hand stitched straps with much neater stitching.
