Fluco Chicago Horween Shell Cordovan Whiskey Flat Leather Watch Strap

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.

Really enjoying my new Fluco Chicago Horween Shell Cordovan Brown Flat Leather Watch Strap. It feels very comfortable and pliable, without feeling cheap. I like that it is just starting to get small scuffs and "patina". In my opinion this strap is very simple looking, and not eye catching, which is what I wanted, yet is of good quality. Sort of under the radar nd understated. If you want that confidence in quality this a a good strap for you. It pairs well with my BALL Engineer M Pioneer 2. This is my second watch strap purchase and I will be returning for more in the future. Very satisfied!

The flat Fluco straps are great. They are thick enough to be strong, but thin enough (and the leather is of high quality) that they are flexible. My wrist has become thin, and aome padded straps are too stiff to be comfortable. The Fluco Horween leather is beautiful leather, and the strap is well made and fits very comfortably.

I needed a short strap in a cognac-like color for my wedding. I bought this and a Molequin Nubuck watch strap for double the price for my wedding hoping one would match the cognac shoes/belt nicely. While the Molequin Nubuck was more comfortable and had better edge finishing, this is an extremely nice and comfortable strap for the price and I had no reservations at all about making it my pick for the wedding. The color match to cognac was very close, and the buckle sits nicely. My only wish is that there was an option with color matched/more subdued stitching as I was using this on a dress watch (Oris Artelier S) but it’s not a big deal. I’ll probably be back for a black one at some point.

If you aren’t familiar with cordovan, you might think it’s plastic at first glance. It’s that smooth and uniform. The brown looks fantastic with yellow gold. It’s hard to show how sharp and clean looking it is. It’s also lined. Custom Horween Cordovan straps cost twice as much!! The Fluco butterfly clasp (you have to buy it separately) is a nice upgrade . Cordovan doesn’t need much care, but if need be pick up a bottle of Venetian Shoe Cream (elsewhere) to restore the shine.

This was exactly the neo-vintage look I was hoping to have on my Seiko Pressage SPB165. However, I was surprised to find that I am wearing this regular length strap on the tightest hole on my 6.5" wrist. The hole spacing is broader than most leather straps so there's not as much micro adjustment in this strap. The quality of the leather is top notch and the smell is lovely. The color of the Whiskey is a little pale which will darken some as the strap naturally patinas. But it doesn't match my brown leather dress shoes unfortunately, but it does match the leather sandals lol.

Very nicely made strap equal in quality to some more expensive straps. The color of this whiskey strap is slightly darker than I expected but very nice. Needed a shorter strap to work with my deployant.
