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 Casablanca strap is handmade in Germany using vegetable-tanned cowhide leather from Tuscany. Because no chemicals are used to treat the leather, it retains its natural character; the resulting tonal gradations and minor cosmetic irregularities contribute to the rustic appeal and patina. The Casablanca is accentuated with fine all-round stitching in a light contrasting color. The last stitch at each end is double-stitched, as are the bartack stitches at the buckle. Using clear lacquer, each edge is varnished, smoothed and polished several times by hand. This strap has a vegetable-tanned leather lining.

I’m new to the watch community. I decided to start my collection on a budget with a Timex Weekender and wanted a leather strap to replace the fabric version and make my first timepiece a little more professional. I ordered a Fluco Casablanca in Whiskey Leather and loved the color. But due to some kind of manufacturing error, the slit housing the quick-release toggle was cut too closely to the edge of the strap, and when my wrist brushed against a doorpost at work, the strap tore and my watch fell to the ground. I emailed Holben’s, received a response within hours, and was sent a brand-new strap free of charge. I’ve been using this strap for four months now and have noticed no issues. In fact, it's improved with age. Holben’s sells great products and stands behind them. I look forward to many more purchases as I grow my collection!
High quality strap that works well with the Damasko. Thanks Fluco and Holben's!
Another excellent Fluco watch band… Nice smooth leather, lightly padded and very nice polished buckle…! Very nice and I recommend…
This is my 6th purchase & certainly not the last purchase from Holbens! As usual, I received the strap in 36 hours after placing the order!! I live in the SE & the merchant is in west coast!!
The strap is very comfortable & fits perfectly on my Revue Thommen Heritage automatic watch. I replaced the buckle with the original Revue Thommen buckle. Very happy customer & will be returning here soon. 😊
This watch strap is extremely comfortable and looks fantastic with my seiko 53kx just look at my pics below to see, very happy indeed! 😊
Excellent smooth finished band in black by Fluco.. I did change out the buckle and put the Hamilton buckle on the strap but the strap comes with a very high quality polished one… See other photos.. Recommend Holben’s without hesitation, my go to place for watch bands…!
I have already written a review on this one in Whiskey and here’s one in the Olive/Taupe color and it’s very nice… Love this color on a Hamilton Khaki King switch the champagne/tan dial… The Fluco Casablanca is made from real nice and firm cowhide leather and wears comfortably… Very good quality and very good value for your money … Of course purchased from right here at Holben’s, where the service is impeccable…! Can’t recommend more highly… GG
Have quite a few of these Fluco bands and they are all a great buy for the money… Outstanding really… Very nice leather and as always a very nice buckle on these Fluco bands… Love this band and I put it on a MT GMT and it really looks and wears great….! Can’t beat Holben’s for watch bands and great service, the best…!
I couldn't have been happier with my purchase. I usually buy straps from Amazon but finally decided that for my Seiko Baby Snowflake it was going to be different. So happy to have discovered this website. The strap came exactly as pictured and arrived in great time. What I wanted was this specific sort-of light brown color as well as being from a quality brand. That's exactly what I got too. Will definitely be buying more from Fluco and Holben's in the future.
I had ordered a replacement watch band from Amazon and it didn’t look anything like what was described or what was pictured (CHEAP!). After searching around on the internet I found this site and decided to go with it. I’m glad I did. It was exactly what I was looking for (color, quality, thickness, etc.). I did order the brushed ss buckle which I would highly recommend. Pic below...
