Black with gray stripe on my Seiko 5 Sport GMT black dial. Looks great and very comfortable. Responsible price and super quick shipping. This is my 3-4 purchase from Holbens and I’ve always been pleased. Thank you. Definitely recommend.
The watch band is absolutely stunning. The blue really pops with the watch, and the leather quality is extremely high. Fluco rarely disappoints with their straps, but on this one, the top piece seems to be about 1mm narrower than the bottom piece. On my watch, the gap on the top spring bar is definitely visible, which is disappointing. Not the end of the world, but something to note.
Ordered a Hadley-Roma chestnut strap for a gold 1962 CYMA navystar watch. Paid the order but forgot to order the gold buckle. Emailed Mike who emailed me a PAYPAL invoice straight away. Parcel turned up in regional Victoria Australia in just one week which I thought was just fantastic. Mike was great and replied to my emails prompty - excellent service and a quality srap. Very happy.
It’s my second Haveston strap. I have several NATO straps from other manufacturers, but Haveston straps are ones of the best. Material is sturdy yet supple; the hardware and buckle with stamped logo look really nice. I love single pass design; it doesn’t make the strap look too thick on my wrist. The strap looks amazing on my vintage military-style Praesidus DD-45, it brings out the vintage “Dirty Dozen” look even more. I was also impressed by the quality and design of the packaging. Highly recommended, 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 have an old Tissot PRC200 Quartz Chrono that I don't wear anymore but because of me my daughter's boyfriend is becoming a watch nerd. For Christmas we are going to give him the PRC but we wanted to freshen it up and my daughter chose this Rallye strap and it looks amazing. The watch has been transformed and the quality of the strap, leather, finishing, etc. has exceeded my expectations. This watch is a little tricky in that it's a 19mm lug width but DiModell and Holben had us covered with some beautiful options. This is my third strap from Holben; I continue to be impressed and I'm sure it won't be my last.
It was time to change the strap on my 1973 Omega Geneve and I wanted black shell cordovan. I was looking for something similar to what Nomos uses with their Club Campus.
The quality, softness, fit, and durability of this strap are very impressive. It has injected new life into a 50 year old watch. Highly recommended.
Looks perfect on my watch. Wish it was maybe .5 inch longer but otherwise looks perfect on my 7.75 in wrist. Thanks Mike and crew for another beauty.
This strap goes well with my Grand Seiko SBGN011. I am glad that it has quick release spring bars. The leather is thick and feels sturdy. I think it goes well with watches with big dials.
The strap color goes well with Seiko SPB435 (Bamboo Grove Alpinist). I am glad this strap is 19mm and has quick release spring bars. The leather is comfortable and feels premium. The whiskey color is a light brown and matches gold/yellow tones of a watch. It makes my watch look elegant and I really like it.

I own an Omega Seamaster 300M that came with a blue rubber strap. Though I like that strap, after realizing the price of a mesh bracelet from Omega directly ($800!), I decided to shop around. Found Holbens through a Swiss watch subreddit and I’m so glad I did. The fit and finish of this mesh bracelet and smooth touch to my wrist is amazing. All this for a fraction of the branded mesh bracelet too. Will be back to get more bands soon!
I have purchased a few straps from Holbens over the years and have never been disappointed with the product or the service. Recommended
I really like loopless deployment clasps and this is my favorite style I have found so far. This black matches my Marathon Gsar perfectly. Though not intended for Marathons rubber straps this clasp fits perfectly. Holbens is a great company to do business with. Super fast shipping and great price and selection. Thanks
I paired the Perlon Palma two-piece w/ black buckle, with a Casio G-Shock GW-S5600 using JaysandKays adapter kit (from their eBay store), and aesthetically it looks amazing. I really like being able to adjust the strap to perfectly fit my wrist, which is a problem I've had with every G-Shock watch in that the strap holes are either too tight, or too loose. The only downside to this two piece Palma is that the seams on the underside of the strap closest to the spring bars, that are heat-welded for strength (see pics), are super itchy/scratchy. This is a major comfort problem for me, and I've not really been wearing this strap/watch combo because of it. But I do love the way it looks!
Lovely soft suede, very comfortable, and a perfect color for wear with my uniform. Well made.
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!
The entire family of Forstner bracelets are top quality and in my opinion the best choice for aftermarket bracelets. They custom fit to many popular watches. The finishing is good and they are sized with screws not pins. The model O is a no brainer, classic style and comfort, even has a single spring link for hot weather expansion. Fits my Seamaster perfectly, no trouble getting the spring bars to line up and it even works with the stock Omega spring bars. Good value for the money. Very comfortable
Of course I have a green one from bonetto already, and had to also get a black one,they are so comfortable and smell great with the vanilla scented rubber. Using it on my Samsung Galaxy watch 7 classic. Great quality rubber, I love the pattern, and easily adjustable. Also decent price. Thank you holbens for the great selection!!
While there is absolutely no denying the fabric material of this strap is quite excellent and of superior quality but the hardware is not. The pin part of the buckle is made of a folded thin piece of metal that is too short. Short enough where if the strap is pulled on hard enough, it can disengage and end up behind the buckle as pictured. At this price point I'd expect a milled pin of sufficient length to prevent this particular failure point. The metal keepers also seem a bit cheapish imo for the price as well, and are very easily scratched after a few days of wear. A very nice strap that would benefit greatly from better Hardware. It gets three Stars based only on the quality of the strap material alone. Better hardware and it would be five stars all day long
The Bonneto Cinturini 300d strap is wonderful! Put it on a very rare Doxa 600 quartz and looks wonderful.
Nice and comfortable and great texture.
Cons: The clasp could be a little bit more substantial, a little bit to light but still works well.
And would definitely take it to a professional watch guy to cut the strap. Even with the directions its complicated, and if you screw up your screwed! Too short you get too buy another one 😱
Overall like all CINTURINI products, i highly recommend and would buy again for the right watch.... ☺️
I have a collector's Anonimo watch. After the original rubber wrist band started to wear off I was looking for a quality leather one. After considerable research I came across Holben's and Hirsch Mariner wrist band. It came pretty quickly and was or a very high quality. The stitches are superb and the leather is really nice. The only thing is that I misunderstood that the wrist band already comes with a buckle so I added $4 to get one (which I ended up not using). Still, I highly recommend Holben's and love the wrist band. I couldn't be happier.
I bought this new Seiko Yellow Tina, wanted a yellow Isofrane strap to go with it. I turned to Holbens because of price, they were able to post to Australia.
It’s a very comfortable strap, the yellow strap smells like vanilla, where as my black Isofrane doesn’t!
The strap arrived before my watch did, fitting it was easy. It’s only a weekend watch for me.
The keepers with the Isofrane are very snug, & I must position them in place before putting it on.
In all, I’m very happy with the strap, & am looking at another purchase in future with Holbens.
This is undoubtedly one of the highest quality NATO style straps I have ever worn. The weave isn't too tight or stiff like one might see in similar straps at a lower price point. I also really like the floating keeper in the middle. That said, I do think the price is a bit excessive and wish there were an option for brushed hardware instead of polished. No regrets, though. It's a wonderful, stylish, and comfortable strap overall, and I'm happy with it.
I bought this deployment clasp to use on my Zealand strap with my Tudor Ranger. The fit is perfect and the clasp opens and shuts very smoothly. I highly recommended getting this if you want a really nice loopless deployment clasp.
