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 Consul strap is handmade in Germany using fine calfskin leather with a soft, smooth, matte finish. At just 3mm thick throughout with no stitching, it has a slim, minimal profile for an elegant look. The lining leather is hypoallergenic.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help me shorten it?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Nice Strap

The Fluco Consul is a quality strap that is simple and elegant. It fits my watch perfectly and is light, simple, and unobtrusive. Highly recommended. Thanks Holben's for the quick service. Will buy again.

Great and elegant

I bought this for my Tissot le Locle. It’s beautiful and looks way better than Tissot original strap. Quality is really good and leather is soft. This one is 19 inch

Very Nice

I am very happy with my purchase. This leather strap is well made. The leather touching your skin is very comfortable and silky. I have put my strap on my titanium Boddery and it is a nice complement to the whole watch.

Lovely and elegant

This was a perfect replacement band for a rather old Mondaine Swiss Railway watch. I had to punch two extra holes because my wrist is small (it's not a "woman's watch;" band is 16mm), but I like wearing bold watches and love the result. The leather feels soft, supple, and strong, and makes a well-used accessory feel new again, elegant and ready to wear for many more years.

A great matte black

This strap provides a unique look. It is very flat matte black and pairs very well with slim dress watches, OR even on divers in place of a rubber look.

Very Nice Strap. Great Value

The clean, simple design and satin finish work beautifully with my Max Bill 34mm. In fact, it was another review that prompted me to purchase this strap. A fantastic price, especially given the quality.

Simple & minimal design

Unadorned, minimal style strap is the perfect complement for my Max Bill. Very soft & supple leather, w/minimal break-in needed. I own a few different Fluco straps and each one is a winner.

Perfect Combination of Comfort and Minimalist Aesthetics

This strap is extremely soft and looks incredible on my Seiko SRPB43 (pictured on the right). I wish there was a 21mm version for my ver 3 Orient Bambino!

Excellent quality and affordable strap

The Fluco Consul is the perfect strap for a more modern or minimalist style watch. This looks great with my Ole Mathiesen and Stowa Antea watch. The strap is a smooth leather similar to the Skagen straps with a soft under lining that is very comfortable. Recommended for dress and modern design watches.

Excellent Value for the Money!

Given the low price, I'm very pleased with the quality of the strap that I received. The leather is soft and the polished buckle matches my Nomos Tangente perfectly. My wrist is about 6.5 inches and this short length strap fits me perfectly.
