This beautiful leather strap is the perfect addition to my vintage Hamilton Barton watch. It is very soft and comfortable. The quality of craftsmanship is evident. The value of Fluco watch bands has made them my benchmark. I should also mention that Holbens has been my first stop when looking for watch bands and they almost always have what I need.
The Fulco Deauville watch strap I ordered came in about 3days from Holben in Seattle to East Coast. Strap was nice and slim and need no break in. Fits my Glashutte Senator Sixties slim profile. Strap was ordered in Black and has a Pebble grain texture finish. Just wished the color was darker and glossy.
I bought the Fluco Togo leather Deauville strap in dark brown to complement the fauxtina in my Black Bay 54. It doesn’t disappoint. I think it brings out the gold accents well. I added a Fluco flip lock clasp-my first-and really like the way it fits the strap and my wrist. It’s neither thick nor stiff, and that helps it conform well and adds to its level of comfort. I also like the textured look, which adds some uniqueness. I highly recommend this strap!
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.
Good band that is soft, and “as expected” which is rare in todays market.
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.
Price to value for these straps are hard to beat. Color is as expected but the suppleness of the leather is great right out of the box. Definitely recommend.
I’m a big fan of Fluco straps having bought several in the past, but this might be my favorite yet. The Perlinger Togo leather feels extraordinarily soft with a rich taupe color and top-tier grain. The German craftsmanship and neat stitching are immaculate, making it super comfortable right out of the box. Exceptional, personalized customer service from Holben's as always—fast shipping and careful packaging.
Great strap, nice soft feel.
Looks special with the texture on the band and feels like it’s been in your watch box the first time you put it on - zero break in.
The pictures are true to color and true to texture, couldn’t be happier. Wish it came with quick release springbars but that is the only real drawback. Leather looks and feels great
The band looks exactly like what was shown on-line, with accurate colour. It fits perfectly and looks great on my Nomos Tangente - much better than the original band that came with the watch! Holbens shipped the band within 24 hours of my purchase and it was a trackable shipment. It took the postal service a very long time to get it to me, but that's not Holben's fault. I would buy from Holbens again without hesitation.
I purchased the Fluco Deauville in blue Togo leather for my Serica field watch. Beautiful leather. Great softness and texture. Really well made strap. I will definitely be ordering more of these in different colors. Outstanding value and quality.
Very special leather strap by Fluco. I purchased this for a vintage Seiko with 19mm lug width, so I appreciate that they offer the fairly uncommon 19mm width. The quick-release spring bars are a nice bonus, too. Looking forward to trying this leather in other colors. Great value!
The color and texture of the strap is simultaneously neutral and interesting visually. Crucially, the strap does not compete with the watch itself--it compliments and allows the watch itself to make the statement.
Color and quality both exceptional. Very well priced for this French hand made product. This is my go to resource for quality, ast shipping and customer service
