Established in 1924, German strapmaker EULIT is committed to uncompromising quality. The company's watch straps are meticulously handcrafted at its headquarters in Bavaria, where skilled employees apply their expertise and attention to detail to the multi-step manufacturing process.
EULIT is perhaps best known for producing the original, unrivaled woven Perlon strap. Perlon is an extremely resistant, long-lasting material that is also lightweight, breathable, 100% waterproof and washable. EULIT has been making Perlon straps for decades, using a unique in-house-developed production method that includes a proprietary surface sealing treatment to ensure protection against soiling, moisture and perspiration while providing enhanced durability and resilience. EULIT makes the best Perlon strap you can buy, period.
EULIT's Baltic model utilizes a fine double-braided technique for exceptional flexibility and a comfortable feel on the wrist. The one-piece, single-pass configuration allows effortless strap changes, and the woven construction (no fixed sizing holes) enables a customized fit. Available with your choice of a polished or brushed stainless steel clasp.

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.

Perlon is my go-to leather substitute in summer for the watches with which I would typically wear a strap. The ones from Eulit are more expensive than others, but they are worth it. I tried another less expensive brand and was disappointed by the comfort and so bought some more Eulit from Holben’s. Pictured here on a vintage 33mm Caravelle.
EULIT makes the most comfortable perlon straps bar-non. The buckle on the Baltic model is much too wide for slim wristed folks; or wrists with more curvature. Buckle ends tend to lift and catch on things. I swapped the buckle with the Kristall model as someone suggested (new strap shown with shorter buckle).
After wearing the Eulit Panama royal blue almost daily for more one year, I feel very satisfy and looking for other color. Pick up a Panama grey and Baltic navy blue. I did read the review about the buckle and yes.... very true and really very ugly compare to the previous. It has lost the elegant look and look like a cheap piece of metal. Although it is a 20mm strap, but it is like only 19mm, a tad bit narrower and not full 20mm, can see in the picture. The weaving of the baltic seems not so spread evenly, unlike the panama. Besides, the new straps did not have a EULIT gold wording anymore. (In picture for comparison, from left, Kristal Black-old, Baltic Navy Blue-new, Panama Grey-new, Panama Royal blue-old)
Holbens really lives up its reputation and the items come in a nice package with the extra 20mm lugs, will definitely be back for more. The minus 2 star is for the ugly buckle and the not perfect weaving.
