Get it fast: Our in-stock Erika's Originals MN straps ship immediately from Washington State!
Inspired by the classic Marine Nationale watch strap (originally invented by French naval divers to pair with their military-issued Tudor MN watches) and widely regarded as one of the most comfortable all-season straps on the market today, Erika's Originals MN straps are expertly handcrafted by Erika and her team of skilled artisans in Valencia, Spain.
Each strap starts with superior European spandex elastic nylon, dyed to perfection in Switzerland for ultimate comfort and moisture regulation, and featuring a rounded-edge, non-fraying endless weave elastic (two perfect sides!). Woven to the highest specification using traditional techniques on state-of-the-art looms, this durable material maintains its perfect structure while supporting even the beefiest watches. Easily microadjust for a customized fit with the integrated sliding clasp. The 316 stainless steel buckle is water resistant in both ocean and pool, and for added peace of mind, all Erika's Originals MN straps are hypoallergenic and latex-free.

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.

Erika's mn bands are becoming my favorite watch band while wearing my 38mm hamilton khaki field mechanical. There is just enough stretch for comfort without sacraficing the bands ability to securly keep your watch in place. I now own 3 of these.
Very comfortable watch band. I enjoy it so much that i ordered another within a week of recieving this one.
The packaging was elegant and practical. Install was a breeze with the charming included instructions. Adjustability and sizing was simple. Never feels too tight or too loose. I’ve already gotten compliments on it while wearing my watch at work. The color scheme works perfectly with my Synchron Poseidon Ice Diver. Both Holben’s and Erika’s Originals have gained a customer. Very happy with my purchase!
