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.

Eulit is the way to go

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.

Comfortable strap with unwieldy buckle

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).

Nice strap but ugly 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.

Good but no cigar

I'm a big Eulit perlon fan and have been wearing the Kristall from Holben's for a number of years. I wanted to try another color other than black so I thought I'd try the Baltic in green and brown.

The Baltic material is slightly heavier than the Kristall but is the same high quality. The colors look very good and are not too flashy.

The big negative is the buckle. Compared to the Kristall buckle, it seems cheap, bigger and is oddly shaped. It looks like a buckle that you get on a band from a dollar store. I did not care for the buckle at all.

Instead of returning the straps I swapped out the funny looking Baltic buckles with a couple Kristall buckles from older straps that I had.
Now I'm a happy camper and will continue to buy my Eulit straps from Holben's . Too bad I had to deduct 1 star because of the buckle.

Perfect weave

I was happy that the shade of blue was a bit darker than the main product photo--a deeper navy blue is what I was looking for, and this one is a good shade. I also like the density of the Baltic weave--it's not too thick or too thin. Infinitely adjustable, you can't really go wrong with a Eulit Perlon.

Eulit Baltic Tan Perlon Watch Strap

These Eulit Baltic Perlon straps are perfect for the humid weather in the Southeast where I live. Leather straps fare poorly here and, to me, metal "bracelets" just aren't comfortable. The new tan Eulit Baltic strap is both a comfortable fit and a good color for summer wear. My only reservation is the buckle on the Baltic strap. A better buckle - at least for me - would be like the buckle on the Kristall version.

Great strap, fair clasp

I agree with other reviewers here - the strap is wonderful just like Eulit's other high-quality straps, but it is let down a bit by the clasp. I find it larger/bulkier than the past version of this clasp. It doesn't really fit with the slim style of the strap. Plus, the word EULIT is now on the opposite of the buckle tang, instead of on the same side of the buckle tang, so it is not as visible and not as visually appealing.
Have to mention how awesome the folks at Holbens are - they helped me find a version of this strap that was a little smaller than 18mm to fit my 17.5mm lug-width watch. Awesome customer service!!

Lightweight, comfortable

I personally don't mind the buckle, but it is wide. My wrists are small but flat...

On the flip side, for small wrists, the buckle is enough to keep the extra length under control for the most part.

My latest purchase from Holben's was a pair of Eulit Baltic Blue perlon straps in 18mm. I'm really pleased with them, even more than I have been with the Eulit Kristall straps. I have several vintage watches that take 16mm leather straps and the Baltic 18mm fits nicely between those lugs. Eulit braided perlon straps are ideal for the warm, humid weather where I live. No more leather straps, as the Baltic straps will be ideal for year round wear. Holben's customer service is outstanding - I couldn't be more pleased.
