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.

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 plant-based straps feature distinctive treatments and are designed and made entirely and exclusively in Italy using Italian materials.

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.

Lug/Buckle Taper Many straps taper in width toward the buckle. This is an important measurement if you plan to swap out the buckle or add a deployant clasp. Your buckle size matches the width at the BUCKLE end of the strap, not the lug end.

Purchased this for a vintage watch I got from Ukraine at the beginning of the year. And the ostrich strap works incredibly well with the pvd black.
Colareb strap quality is really good and feel premium. I really like it and won't go for any others brand.
Purchased this to pair with my Sinn 104. The color of the leather works really well with the black dial, but I think it is extremely versatile. Very pleased with the quality and feel of this one.
I have purchased some ostrich-skin bands from Amazon for some of my inexpensive watches. However, for my Seiko Alpinist I wanted something better. I have purchased a number of Cola Reb watches from Holbens, and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.
Great seller and excellent product!
Great leather, great hardware. The color is exactly what I was looking for and the taper is tight for a comfortable fit.
This strap is excellently crafted of beautiful leather and is well worth the price. Satisfied customer, and will definitely be exploring more of ColaReb...
