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.

Di Modell pilot strap

Reality is often disappointing but not in the case of this strap. I returned a Hirsch Liberty strap that I didn’t care for and picked up this Di Modell. It is awesome in ways the Hirsch wasn’t.
Made in Germany(china for the hirsch), padded but not as thick as the Hirsch and the stitching is nicer.

Looks awesome on my Grand Seiko

Fits my Grand Seiko diver Perfectly. Very high quality strap and exceptionally comfortable.

Love it

Looks fantastic on my Citizen Pro-Master. Soft leather with enough length for a normal wrist size without being excessively long

Di-Modell Black 20mm Black Pilot Watch Strap

So glad I chanced upon this strap. It’s super-duper good; fits perfectly for my Oris Big Crown Propilot 40mm watch. Highly recommend this strap - looks great, feels great and value for money.

An update

My Orient Panda Dial Vintage watch looks awesome in this strap!

Awesome Watch Strap

Just an update

Excellent quality.

Bought this strap for my Tudor Black Bay 41. Very nice leather, compliments the watch well. Di-Modell has outstanding craftsmanship and comfort. This is my second strap from the brand and from Holben's. I am completely satisfied and recommend both, Di-Modell and Holben's. Great value. Strap is dark brown, emphasis on dark. It is barely distinguishable from my black strap. It is much darker than the picture. So be aware of that.

Di-Modell strap Easy to Wear

This is absolutely the softest leather band I have ever owned! Looks great on my Vaer diver! I would definitely recommend the Di-Modell Pilot Black Watch Strap!

Great customer service / Great watch band

Very nice product. The brown is quite a bit darker (seems black in low light, but I was ok with this).

Had an initial issue with them sending me the wrong size because the band was mislabeled somewhere along the way (received 20mm and needed 22mm). I contacted them and had a conversation with Mike regarding the issue. After a couple of back and forth emails, Mike offered to overnight a new band and send me a shipping envelope for the incorrect band. Our emails were prompt and he was very nice and professional during our conversation.

I just received the new band and everything is all good with this one.

I have a Samsung Gear S3 Classic and the band itself is really nice. It's thick and widens to match the watch (These are hard to find aside from the band that comes with the Gear S3 Frontier itself). If you're looking for a leather band, this one's it.

Third time buying this strap

It's literally my favorite. I've used the same styled leather on 4 watches now. And now it's on my latest and greatest... Only thing I'd suggest to Di-Modell would be to "integrate" the strap into the lugs (like on the oem omega rubber strap). So like a curved ended strap with extra padding, plus the notch of course 👌. Only option I've found for that idea was for me to order a custom strap that takes 2 months to get to me and would cost ~$500. I'll take this for a 1/10 of that price since they need to be replaced yearly anyways. Please someone from Holben's, ask to get that made!
