Located in Germany's Bavarian Forest, Fluco manufactures 100% in-house at its headquarters in the town of Furth im Wald. Owner Ulrich Fleischmann represents the third generation of his family to lead the company that his grandfather founded more than 70 years ago, producing handmade watch straps of the highest quality for men and women.
Fluco carefully vets every partner they collaborate with. They work only with tanneries that produce ecologically and ethically responsible leather, complying with the strictest regulations to ensure environmental safety and exercising verifiable control from the origin of the raw material to the end product. Fluco's buckles are made entirely in Germany, at a traditional company in Baden Württemberg that tasks itself with producing premium clasps for watch straps.
Fluco's Biarritz collection is handmade in Germany using genuine goatskin leather from the best tannery in France. Goatskin has a natural marble-like grain that will vary slightly between straps. The Biarritz is extremely slim and supple (requiring virtually no break-in time), but retains excellent dimensional stability. Contrasting white stitching seams are double-stitched at the lug and buckle ends. The edges of each strap are painted, sanded and polished several times by hand. The French calfskin leather lining is water resistant and hypoallergenic.

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.

I am Disappointed. the strap i received does not look like what's on the picture on this website and it does not look like what other reviewers got. it seems either flucco Changed the way they made the straps and holbens has not updated their picture or the strap is simply not finished.
In the pictures and reviews the strap has a gloss to it. mine is completely mate. The strap i received has black dots within the leather the ones advertised have not. but the worst part for me is the images on holbens and reviewers shows a black edge on the side of the strap which mine have not. mine is just full red. because of this the strap i got does not match well my white speedy. it would've looked better with what others got and what the picture on this website shows
im going to keep the strap because i need a red strap for Christmas but i wont be buying from Fluco again
I recently put the Fluco Grey Goatskin strap on my Grand Seiko, and it has quickly become one of my favorite combinations. The grey tone works beautifully with the sharp lines and polished case of the watch, giving it a versatile and understated look that fits in any setting. The strap feels soft from the start, with no break-in period, and the goatskin has just the right balance of texture and flexibility.
What stands out most is the craftsmanship. The stitching is clean, the fit is precise, and the overall feel is one of real durability. Fluco has amazing quality and will never let you down. Amazon straps don’t hold a candle to this kind of work. It costs more, but it’s 100% worth the money because you’re buying quality that elevates the watch and will last.
I recently paired the Fluco Biarritz Green Goatskin Leather Strap (18mm) with my Nomos Club, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. From the moment I attached it, the strap elevated the entire look of the watch. The green tone is subtle yet distinctive—muted enough to be versatile, but with just enough personality to draw the eye. The natural texture of the goatskin feels soft yet sturdy, giving it an immediate comfort on the wrist without any break-in period.
The craftsmanship is excellent: tight, even stitching in contrasting white complements the Club’s dial design, while the padding and taper give it a refined profile. I especially appreciate how the polished lugs and the silver case harmonize with the cool green strap for a clean, modern aesthetic.
It’s rare to find a strap that enhances both the visual and tactile experience of a watch so perfectly, but the Fluco Biarritz achieves just that. I’d call this pairing an absolute win.
