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
Looks amazing. Quality is exceptional. This will definitely not be my last ColaReb strap.
This is my 3rd ColaReb strap from Holben's and I think this one is my favorite. The Roma rust has that beautiful worn in, rustic look as soon as you put it on and I think it works perfect with my Hamilton Khaki Field King. The leather is beautiful, the off-white stitching compliments, and the buckle and keepers are perfect. I wish ColaReb made belts. I'd buy the matching belt in a heart beat - take my money.
Shipping was fast (to Canada) and packaging was nice. Would recommend.
I’ve purchased many straps from Holbens. The reason I keep buying from them is their fantastic customer service and quick responses to product inquiries. This rust colored strap from ColaReb is another exquisite example of a quality, well made Italian leather strap. The color of the leather pretty much goes with any watch, but currently I have it on this Hamilton. Love both Holbens and ColaReb. All around perfection.
I really liked this strap at first but the color has really lost a lot of its character and got way lighter. I am disappointed in the way this is fading after only a couple weeks. I have many real leather straps that dont behave like this, in fact they look better with use. It's as if this is just a painted surface. As you can see in the picture the entire strap was the same darkness as the dark keeper when I first received it.
The fit is good.
This has become my favorite strap. The blue is subtle enough to wear it daily but present enough to make it absolutely striking and gorgeous and give it a unique character. And of course the quality of the leather and hardware is superb.
Urban Gentry brought me here. I was a little hesitant due to the price. Once the strap arrived, I had ZERO buyer’s remorse. Not only is it amazingly comfortable, but these straps can totally change the look of your watch- and for the better. I will be singing ColaReb’s praises to anyone looking for a leather strap.
Bought these straps in the tobbacco variant to replace the terrible stock straps on my Seiko Alpinist SARB017. I could immediately tell that these straps were high quality leather, the distressed look and accent stitching really adds character to the strap. Time will tell if these were worth the 71 USD I paid but I can tell so far that this is a premium product that will look better the more it is worn. I found my watch not quite fitting right on the stock straps but once I put these on I immediately could feel the difference and it made the watch sit comfortably snug on my wrist as it is supposed to. Great straps.
I've purchased a few of the ColaReb straps over the years and I recommend them highly. Great quality! And Holben's is great to deal with.

This is a beautiful strap, quality made and comfortable. Tasteful distressing and the Blue colour is very nice with out being overly "too blue" . Looks great, I highly recommended.
This is my first strap, the quality is good, I wish the price can be cheaper, but I can't find any alternative strap to match the quality and color, overall is good purchased
