Guide to your choice
To find the best strap for your watch and your wrist, you need to know the different lengths and sizes available. Follow the steps below:
Lug width
To determine the width of the lugs of your watch, use a metric ruler to measure the distance between the two lugs (the protruding ends to which the strap is attached).
Strap length
For optimal use of the watch, it is essential to purchase a strap of a length suitable for your wrist. Measure the length of the last strap that felt comfortable.
Buckle size
All ColaReb straps are supplied with a stainless steel buckle (polished or satin-finished depending on the model), on which the ColaReb logo is engraved. If you want to use the buckle from a previous strap (for example, the one supplied with the watch), compare the size of your buckle with the one in the product description.
Strap thickness
From an aesthetic point of view, thin or flat watches are better matched to thin straps, while robust and large watches require a thicker strap for better ergonomics and a more homogeneous design.
Replacing the strap
To remove the old strap from the lugs of your watch and install the new one, follow the steps below:
The strap is usually attached to the watch with spring bars. Use a spring bar tool to locate the end of the spring bar between the strap and the case.
Then, push in the end of the bar to extract it from the hole in the case and remove the first side of the strap. Perform the same operation on both sides.
Replacing the buckle
To remove the buckle, use a spring bar tool as you would for the strap. Place the tool between the buckle and the strap on one side, and push the end of the spring bar towards the center.
Remove the spring bar using the spring bar tool.

Customer Reviews
My new Accutron Legacy RR-0 came with a nice smooth leather band (no stitching) except that it used a deployant closure. Not for me! This ColaReb strap was a perfect match with a normal buckle. This is my second ColaReb and I'm not disappointed!
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:
Good value excellent quality
Want to say that this is a perfectly good watch strap, not great, but pretty good. I think at this price point, you could probably find a better strap. To some degree, you are paying for the brand name, which is fine. ColaReb makes a great product and this leather strap is no exception. It's great, but for the price, I think better value can be found elsewhere. That being said, the leather is very soft and breaks-in super fast and looks really good on just about any watch I put it on.
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.
Fit perfect on my 7.25 in wrist. Strap can be dressed up or down.
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.
ColaReb is making some of the most beautiful straps at any price point. This one is no exception. The Essential straps really complement your watch.
this is my fifth watch band from colareb and as always the quality is excellent they never disappoint and the service from holbens is the best i ordered my band on saturday morning and it was shipped the same day.
