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 Pigskin strap is handmade in Germany using fine pigskin with a soft, smooth finish. This strap is untapered, meaning that it is the same width at the buckle and lug ends. The Pigskin is accentuated with fine all-round tone-on-tone stitching, and the last stitch at each end is double-sewn. At just 2mm thick throughout, it has a slim, minimal profile for an elegant look. The lining leather is hypoallergenic.

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.

Most comfortable strap I own

My favorite strap. The pigskin doesn't seem to stretch out like a lot of other watch bands do and it's easy to put on. Best of all it's super comfy.

Fluco and Holben's - Exceptional Watch Straps and Purchase Experiences!

I have Fluco watch straps on five of my watches, including the Bulova Mil Ship shown here. The quality of the Fluco straps is absolutely exceptional. I look at much more expensive leather straps and always come back to believing that for me, Fluco straps are superb and a true buy. Plus, Holben's has been a pleasure to deal with. I will be back!

Excellent strap for my Praesidus A-11

I purchased this to go with my Praesidus 32mm Combat edition, after receiving the watch band I treated it with leather honey twice and have been using it since. The patina is perfect for this watch.

Most Comfortable

This is the most comfortable after-market watch strap I have found, never "sweaty" like rubber, never loose like nylon, very pliable. This strap is marked "allergie geschützl" in German, which translates to something like allergy protected, and of course "Made in Germany". The subdued finish looks great, I like this especially with field watches, it seems to bring them up a notch in appearance, while retaining the practical look. Holben service is outstanding.

Great strap

This strap is perfect with this Accutron 214.
I applied some neatsfoot oil to darken it up a bit and the result as you can see is pure class.

Very comfortable strap, but it darkens significantly

It broke in very quickly and is extremely comfortable on my 35mm Easy Reader. However, it has darkened from the light grey seen in the product photos to a much darker charcoal in the two weeks I’ve been wearing it. Fortunately, this doesn’t bother me in the least because I just wanted a nice, neutral color that was different than the typical black or shades of brown. To that end, charcoal is just as good as grey.

I only wish that it was offered in short sizes. I’m in the second to last hole right now, and, after it stretches out, I’ll be using the last hole. It’s not the end of the world, but I do prefer my watch bands to have less of a tail.

Perfect strap for vintage watches

I searched a long time to find a classic pig skin that resembles the ones from the 1940s. Fluco has the best pig skin in the market and the untappered 16 mm band makes it a true classic. Excellent customer service from Holbens as always, my number one stop for watch bands.

Love this strap.

I absolutely love this strap. I had an old watch I had bought on ebay and it had a pig strap on it that I truly enjoyed. When I decided to buy a pig strap in a different width I found this Fluco tan. When it arrived I realized how much lighter it was than what I expected however it darkens with age. I wear this strap with the Seiko Alpinists, both the green and the one pictured and my white Junghans Max Bill. The older the strap gets the more I appreciate it. Strongly recommend.

Quality Strap at a bargain price!

My first Fluco strap...very impressive. Quality leather, well made, and most importantly, very comfortable right from the start.

I am quite sure I will buy another...( in Tan next time). As always, Holben's delivered a classy product, real fast, at a price that can't be beat.

Rick.

Great quality

Nicely made and a perfect fit!
