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 Chrono Nabucco strap is handmade in Germany using fine calfskin leather with a soft, smooth, almost velvety finish. For a relatively heavily padded strap, it is surprisingly supple. The Nabucco is accentuated with fine all-round stitching in a light contrasting color, and the last stitch at each end is double-sewn. This strap has a hypoallergenic leather lining.
I bought this for my Breitling Navitimer 41mm as an alternative to the folding clasp strap it came on. This strap is extremely comfortable while still being sturdy enough for a Navitimer. It is an excellent value as well, especially when you look at how much an OEM strap costs.
Bought this watch strap to replace the original one on my Hamilton Jazzmaster. This strap works well with bigger watches and is thick and well constructed. The stiching is very nice and I was able to put the OEM buckle on the Fluco strap.
Not my first strap from Holbens. This is a 22mm tan leather strap for an Orient Panda Chrono to replace the original stainless steel bracelet.
I wanted something comfortable with German quality to enhance the appearance of the Orient chrono especially during the summer months.
And it is so. Outstanding appearance. Outstanding quality. And affordable. I had flirted with the idea of fitting a pigskin or ostrich strap but this choice is just super.
The ensemble replaces a Heuer 510 / Lemania 5100 so that you understand the provenance of my view with regard to performance & value.
Affordable and quick delivery. Outstanding!
