I bought this to replace the strap on my Zenith Elite. The fixed keeper had come loose. However, I ended up putting it on my Nomos Tangente which comes with a Horween Shell Cordovan strap. Holben's strap is the same quality. The Nomos strap is a bit too long for me - had to wear it a little loose. Also replaced the Nomos buckle with an old Breitling one which I like. Everything works well. So I ordered a second strap for my Zenith. I will put the Zenith branded buckle on it. It has a black gator strap but the Holben's strap will compliment it nicely. I'm quite satisfied and I recommend the strap. It has a glossy finish just like the original Nomos strap. My wrist is 7.25" and the short size fits perfectly.
Purchased the Black 18mm Short length. I’ve almost always been impressed by the Fluco bands I’ve bought, and this one definitely pleases. My first Shell Cordovan item and it’s a nice, relatively inexpensive way to get a taste of one of the world’s finest leathers. Hard to find a strap more classy, elegant and sleek than this one. It is more supple and less rigid right away than I was expecting, and less glossy than I thought it might be - both positive qualities in my case. Thank you Fluco for the well-priced short-length straps and Holben’s for the great service and purchasing experience!
My watch strap recently broke at the buckle so I set out for something special. My new Fluco in Horween Shell Cordovan is indeed special. My original strap was 'regular' length and after much measuring and calculations, I ordered 'short'. Dead on! My new strap fits perfectly in its center hole while the older one was near its shortest hole. In a little while I'll have me a patina from this little piece of Horse Rump. More than pleased with quality!
This leather once broken in is supple and easily conforms to your wrist. The only gripe I’ve had was that one of the straps had a slight off angle on the lug which I needed to address by pushing into the leather. I did need to roll the leather near the watch head as it was contacting the metal, however that was due to the watch having short lugs. It can be easily paired with a button down or casual with jeans.
The quality of this cordovan watch band is outstanding. It’s nothing like cheaper ones you find around. The bold buckle/fastener is a nice rich gold color, not a light, shiny brass. It very much resembles the original strap that came with the watch back in 1990. I’m glad I went with the flat because it modernizes it just a bit and looks very classy. Also, the flat band is elegant like dress watch bands in the 1980s.
I got this strap to pair with my Longines Conquest with a green dial. I really like how the strap looks and the quality is very nice. It is hard to find a 19mm quality leather strap and shell cordovan is my favorite leather so this was a win win. I highly recommend it.
It was time to change the strap on my 1973 Omega Geneve and I wanted black shell cordovan. I was looking for something similar to what Nomos uses with their Club Campus.
The quality, softness, fit, and durability of this strap are very impressive. It has injected new life into a 50 year old watch. Highly recommended.
The strap color goes well with Seiko SPB435 (Bamboo Grove Alpinist). I am glad this strap is 19mm and has quick release spring bars. The leather is comfortable and feels premium. The whiskey color is a light brown and matches gold/yellow tones of a watch. It makes my watch look elegant and I really like it.

Fantastic strap. You can't get shell cordovan this nice anywhere for a better price. Stitching is excellent and quality is excellent. Throw your factory buckle on there and you have a heck of a nice package.
