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. Lines are 100% hand stitched using premium European yarns. 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.
This special MN strap designed by Erika specifically for fixed-lug watches (including the Tudor Pelagos FXD) features a detachable slider. It's simple to use: with the slider uninstalled, just push the strap through the lugs and then insert the slider (see photo tutorial below).

Customer Reviews
The NOS material is soft, elastic, and almost iridescent, in a beautiful shade of khaki that is right between brown and green; no modern MN material seems to match the color of this vintage stuff. The Erika’s stitching and hardware is a perfect complement, and a definite upgrade from the hardware you generally find on the real vintage straps. Easy to adjust, wears comfortable.
Havana looks very nice in person! Depending on the light, has very dark/blackish tones or earthy dark brown. Looks good on this Jack Mason Espresso Strat-o-timer. Very comfortable strap and always fast shipping.
Sahara in person looks incredible. Best and most comfortable strap. Fast shipping!
Two tone on my Jack Mason Strat in Espresso.
Perfect, beautiful and comfortable strap for my diver’s watch. Highly recommend it. Thank you to Holbens staff for their guidance and assurance, great service.
The strap is a bit lighter than I thought it would be, but looks so good. It’s a very light grey. If you’re looking for a darker grey, go with the Mirage. The 2 tone is so subtle and looks really great! The most comfortable straps and fast shipping!
Arguably the best color option for the Tudor Ranger. Looks great, feels great!
The most comfortable watch band you will ever wear! Infinitely adjustable and looks amazing! Pricey, but absolutely worth it. Fast shipping, and great customer service, as well!
Black with gray stripe on my Seiko 5 Sport GMT black dial. Looks great and very comfortable. Responsible price and super quick shipping. This is my 3-4 purchase from Holbens and I’ve always been pleased. Thank you. Definitely recommend.
Connery band on a this Octopus watch looks great. Feels even better. Now this is a 23mm lug but the 22mm covers it. These are great straps and are very comfortable. They hold a watch big or small. A must for style and wearability!
This is the second Erika's I purchased from Holbens. I bought the denim/white for my Damasko DS30. Excellent quality.
