Fluco Babele Leather Watch Strap - Green
Tempesti vegetable-tanned leather with linen-style crosshatched grain.
A crosshatched surface gives the Fluco Babele a linen-like texture with a woven appearance that sets it apart from smooth leather. It works well with brushed cases, field watches, and everyday pieces where a more tactile surface adds contrast.
Material & feel
Made from vegetable-tanned cowhide sourced from the Tempesti tannery in Italy. The leather is tanned using natural tannins such as oak and chestnut bark, which develop a gradual patina and add depth over time. The surface is firm with a defined crosshatch pattern and a dry, natural finish.
Backed with a vegetable-tanned lining leather produced in Germany. The lining has a smooth, even surface and is hypoallergenic, colorfast, and structurally stable.

Very beautiful watch strap. The strap has a vintage vibe perfect for vintage watches.
The strap is a little stiff and would need bit of break-in.
This is the 5th Fluco strap i bought from this store. Would definitely recommend this store to anyone looking for a watch strap/ bracelet.
This watch strap not only looks great on wrist, it smells nice too(vegetable tanned is my favorite kind!) Having a quick release strap build in adds strap changing a breeze while also being gentle on the lugs. Adding this to any watch can dress it up or down, especially with its slight distressed pattern that this leather has.. it pulls more of a black/anthracite appearance. The leather is malleable and conforms easily to the wrist and is breathable. No break in required.
In terms of quality and value, I don't think anyone even comes close to Fluco straps. I have purchased many various Fluco straps up and down the line and they are all beautiful; however, this Babele in whiskey is on another level. I haven't seen anything quite like it at any price point. Fantastic strap!

I took a chance on this one, in that it isn't really my typical style as far as color finish goes. I'm so glad I did, because it's quickly become one of my favorite straps. The linen effect finishing is subtle enough not to shout from your wrist, but adds just enough dynamism to bring some real interest. In terms of construction quality, no complaints at all: this is my first Fluco strap, but won't be my last. Impeccable stitching, quality hardware, thick enough to feel hardy but supple enough to be comfortable right away. Highly recommended!
