Established in 1924, German strapmaker EULIT is committed to uncompromising quality. The company's watch straps are meticulously handcrafted at its headquarters in Bavaria, where skilled employees apply their expertise and attention to detail to the multi-step manufacturing process.
EULIT is perhaps best known for producing the original, unrivaled woven Perlon strap. Perlon is an extremely resistant, long-lasting material that is also lightweight, breathable, 100% waterproof and washable. EULIT has been making Perlon straps for decades, using a unique in-house-developed production method that includes a proprietary surface sealing treatment to ensure protection against soiling, moisture and perspiration while providing enhanced durability and resilience. EULIT makes the best Perlon strap you can buy, period.
The Kristall model is the most finely braided strap in EULIT's Perlon collection. The one-piece, single-pass configuration allows effortless strap changes, and the woven construction (no fixed sizing holes!) enables a customized fit.

Extraordinarily lightweight, infinitely adjustable, tough. Also adds just a little bit of interesting texture to sterile watches (e.g., pilot/field watches). Don't buy a fake Perlon strap. This is the real deal, and worth the money.
I've been wearing this watchband 24/7 for the past 6 months, finally scrubbed it today with some Dawn and a toothbrush. I haven't worn a watch continuously like this ever in my life, and I'm over 50. I suppose the lightweight Misfit Shine 2 "time piece" plays a fair part in the overall comfort but this Eulit band is definitely the most comfortable watchband I've ever used. I do a bunch of carpentry, mechanical work, farming, et cetera, so the band has been put through the wringer and it is holding up great.
Excellent perlon woven nylon band for tropical or hot weather wear. This model is fitted to the buckle in an adjustable fashion so you can vary the length, and also change the length so from week to week you're not using the same spot to put the buckle's tongue through.
How to reshape the band after wear? I soak it in tepid water or warm water for 10-20 minutes, then massage it back into shape, and let air dry. The buckle is lightweight, and appears stamped, but is also ... lightweight, adding to this strap's very easy-to-wear profile. You'll hardly know it's there. Suitable for wear in the water, like other woven nylon straps, but this one will dry out much quicker. (I recommend a fresh water soak after salt wate or chlorinated water exposure.)
