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 Essential 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.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Need help with sizing?
  • Inspect the underside of your current watch strap for width indicators.

ColaReb blue leather watch band

Really nice strap, when I got it the quick release spring bars were too short, however Holben’s was quick to offer new spring bars for free. I had already ordered extra spring bars with the band, so instead they showed me how to swap them out. I’m very happy with the strap, and very impressed with the customer service!
Here is the strap on my vintage seamaster cosmic:

Nice Strap

The Essential Brown strap is quite good. Nice mid-brown shade. The band is smooth and the leather is solid quality with a good feel. Two wears was enough to break in the strap. Very pleased with the purchase.

Essential but never basic

The ColaReb Essential brown strap is one of the nicest leather straps I've worn at any price. Can't go wrong with this model in any color.

The ColaReb Essential strap is perhaps the best value in any leather strap offered. Beautiful leather with no frills to distract from your timepiece.

A solid black leather strap

A solid black leather strap is always needed for a watch. This one from Colareb does the job right. I like that it tapers to 16mm. It makes it more comfortable and breathable. The leather is soft and breaks in quickly.

Colareb Essential, very versatile.

This has quickly become one of my favorite watch straps for casual and even sometimes dress occasions. It's extremely versatile and complimentary to most watch styles and broke in beautifully. Sizing is accurate, the it has a very nice taper (width). I would suggest pairing to a watch with chunkier lugs, as it is on the ticker side. Shipping was lightning fast as always from Holbens, and communication with them is always prompt and informative.
