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 soft, comfortable Deauville strap is handmade in Germany using Togo leather from the Perlinger tannery. Perlinger, a neighbor of Fluco in Furth im Wald, has been owned by the same family for almost 150 years. Handcrafted calf leather of the finest quality has been Perlinger’s trademark over five generations. Centuries ago, the family's ancestors developed a secret process of allowing leather to shrink naturally, creating an unusual leather structure with a pronounced, but fine, grain. Today Perlinger's Togo leather has gained worldwide fame for its use in luxury leather goods such as the Hermès Birkin handbag, but unfortunately, poor (embossed) imitations of Perlinger Togo leather abound. Fluco is one of the few watch strap suppliers who still use authentic, naturally shrunken Perlinger Togo leather.
The Deauville's edges are repeatedly varnished, smoothed and polished by hand. The last three stitches at the end are double sewn, as are the bartack stitches at the buckle. The lining leather from France is water repellent and hypoallergenic. A glass fiber reinforcement is layered inside the strap to prevent tearing and shrinking.

I was pleased enough with the Deauville I put on my Omega earlier this year that I picked up another to put on my new Timex Marlin Moon Phase, to replace the stock cheap faux-croc strap. It has really transformed the watch. As with the Omega, just enough texture to look good, but subtle enough so as not to draw attention from the case of the watch. Smells nice and comfortable to wear to boot. Thanks, Holben's!
It's a really well made watch strap. Definitely something else than the cheap watch strap you can buy of Amazon.
Fast shipping, great customer service.
The Deauville is a quality band at a fair price. I paired it with a vintage Seiko I received in 1985. The watch is Goldtone and pairs nicely with the black leather of the Deauville.
I’m also pleased with the customer service. This was a replacement to a previous purchase that didn’t work out and it was a hassle free exchange.
Bought this to replace the broken mesh bracelet on my eBay-find '79 Omega quartz. The texture on the leather is just enough to give it a vintage look, and the buckle matches the gold case really well. The leather is well-stitched and feels like quality, is fairly thin and flexible, and didn't require any break-in. It wears comfortably and unobtrusively as well, not bulky at all. A nice subtle strap that pairs well with old school watches, and another solid Fluco!
I change straps on a regular basis, and have purchased very expensive ones over the years. The problem today is you have so many options that choosing a good quality strap is not particularly difficult, however, finding a great quality strap at an affordable price has become very difficult. That's where Holben's comes in, and particularly this Fluco leather strap. The quality, fit and finish is absolutely incredible, this is one of the most comfortable straps I've tried on in a long time. It requires no time to break in, and the pebble grain is absolutely beautiful. I love the final look of the watch on this strap.
This is my 2nd Deauville strap from Fluco. The graining of the leather is fantastic and keeps the strap—even in dark colors—from looking dull. Color on the dark brown is pretty accurate to the photo. This is a very dark, deep shade of brown. I love the 2mm taper and availability of 19mm sizing. This is great option for vintage or vintage style watches. No negatives except that this will require a springbar tool to change out.
Note: wrist size is 7.5”, 19cm.
I like the unique texture & appearance of this Deauville straps, it’s really compliments my vintage Universal Geneve Compax watch. The brown color looks really good on lighter colors dials. It needs little time to break in. The straps is really high quality & shipping from Holben’s is lighting fast.
Feels broken in first time wearing.
Needed 20mm to 16mm taper to accommodate my deployant clasp.
Owner of many Fluco straps.
Will be back for more I am sure.
