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.

HOW OTHERS ARE PAIRING IT
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.
I found this after reading several watch forums. At first, I thought it was a bit pricey, and almost went with the Uncle branded strap, but I like the clean appearance of this strap. Love the strap, only small issue is the clasp is hard to close. Maybe it will get easier as time goes by, or it breaks in. I put this on a 45-year old Seiko 6309 diver's watch that I recently got running. The strap seems a bit tight, but I think that is only when I am putting the watch on my wrist. High quality materials in this strap. Recommended.
So this is exactly what I wanted. The quality is exceptional. It’s hefty, not loose like so many other elastic bands like this I have gotten from other sources. Super happy
This is my third (maybe fourth?) Erika’s Original strap. These straps are incredibly comfortable, and the variety of colors available make them perfect for dialing in the look of my favorite watches. I ordered the “original 2 tone” and it might be my favorite MN strap so far. Thankful that Erika’s provides a wide range of 18mm versions, and that Holben’s receives some of those options!
I bought this strap for my Longine Hydroconquest to replace the rubber strap it came with. I have to say the strap is well made, comfortable and looks high quality. Needless to say I'm very happy!
I was hesitant to purchase an Erika's Original because of the price. After all, it's just a fabric strap similar to the ones you can buy on Amazon for 15 bucks. Buy no....it's not. It's much better. I do own one of those Amazon bought straps and did compare it to the Erika's. You can feel the better quality of the Erika's and it wears so much better too. Watching the Erika's video on how they are made also influenced my purchase and I highly recommend that you watch it. My Marathon Navigator wears the Erika and it works well on it. Because of the spacing between the case and spring bar (this model does not have fixed bars) I thought it might not fit but it just makes it and can slide to be adjusted.
Like any new strap, it takes a second to get used to it - but in a good way. Much lighter than even my leather strap. You can adjust where watch fits on band itself so that the buckle clips toward middle of wrist underside. This also makes it easy to clip by using other hand to lift the edge of clasp a tad. Love the look, simplicity, and fit on my Longines Hydroconquest. I’d like to grab another color soon.
This is my second straps from Erika’s. I love this straps, it’s very comfortable especially for summer. So many colors to choose from, and this one pair nicely with my vintage Wittnauer chronograph. It’s little bit expensive, but it’s hard to match Erika’s MN quality. Shipping from Holben’s is very fast as usual & excellent customer service. Will be back for more straps!
