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.
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.
