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?
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.

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
