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
I really like the new strap. The color is beautiful. It is hard to believe it is not leather. Looks great on my Hamilton Khaki King. This is the fourth strap from Colareb. I have been very happy with all of them. Holbens Fine Watch Bands has excellent customer service, very fast shipping and quality products. I definitely recommend this company. I will continue to buy from them in the future. I was able to use my original buckle from my Hamilton watch on the new strap. It fits perfectly, and really makes the band look original to the watch. You can't go wrong with any of the selections from this company. If you are in the market for a watch strap, I highly recommend checking out the fine selection on Holbens website. Whether you are looking to replace a used strap or dress up a watch you already own, a new strap makes your watch look totally different and new! No need to search, this is the place. They have many different brands to choose from!
Bought this wanting something a little more casual for my Longines Master Collection Moonphase. All day comfort and looks fantastic. As always, exceptional service from Holben's.
Paired this ColaReb Strapple Bordeaux strap with my Islander ISL-109 and I could not be happier. Snug fit but the quick release spring bars made installation a breeze. Color is a perfect match with the dial and the texture and stiching are top notch. The strap is of high quality and I am proud to wear it..!
This fantastic vegan strap is superior than one made with animal-leather in terms of quality and durability. It's strong, has beautiful grain, is built with excellent craftsmanship, and takes perspiration well. You can always expect the best straps from the Italians. Was pleasantly surprised to have met Holbens and ColaReb on Instagram too - always glad (as a customer) to be engaged by you guys on social media. Hope your vegan selection of straps continues to expand.

Total customer satisfaction!
great color, perfect replacement band for moonswatch saturn
I've bought several vegan watch straps over time, some even more expensive than Holben's where by far, this is the best made strap. Love the quick release button, which was a welcomed surprise. It is well made where ColaReb made a quality product.
I bought this to have a second strap for my Detroit Watch Co. watch, which came with a leather strap. I hoped to find an alternative to leather and came upon this brand. I wanted something to highlight the blue power and second hands of my watch and this band matches perfectly. It's comfortable and looks great. The fact you don't have to use a screwdriver or tweezers to attach the band's spring bars to the watch lugs is a real plus. I did buy the wrong size the first time (my own fault) but was able to return that strap and order the correct one with no trouble. Delivery was quick, too.
Fantastic strap... that is it vegan is a bonus.
