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.

The Record is one of our most supple straps, adjusting to your wrist with no break-in period required. It's handmade in Germany from fine calfskin leather with a buffalo-grain finish. Somehow this strap manages to feel just refined enough, without veering into "too dressy" territory. The lining leather is water-repellent and hypoallergenic.

Some Record strap sizes are integrated with handy quick-release spring bars. Prefer standard spring bars? Quick-release bars are easy to remove: simply slide the lever as far as you can to the left, then gently bend back the strap corner until the bar emerges from the slot.

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?

Fantastic for the price

I haven’t worn this much yet since it’s still summer, but I’m pleased with the suppleness and construction.—especially for the money. It looks great with a champagne dial. Only wish it had quick release.

Fantastic purchase

I am thrilled with my purchase—the strap is a wonderful fit for my piece, very comfortable, and elevates the style of my watch.

Had the watch band for a couple of weeks now. I'm going to say that this has been one of the best leather watch bands I've ever worn. Leather is well crafted, finishing is fantastic and it's soft so there's no need to "break in". Matched my brown band with a vintage blue dial Slava MIG-29 from the USSR. I would definitely be buying Fluco bands again for my other more expensive aviator watches.

Classy thin strap

Bought this to put on my grandads 40+ year old Seiko. It fits the covered lugs no problem. Soft but quality made like all Fluco straps.

Excellent Product

Have been looking for a band for my OLD Seiko chronograph. Burgundy bands for gold/gold tone watches look really good, but the texture and shade of burgundy are critical. I've finally found an excellent band for the money. The dark burgundy and texture of this band is perfect for this watch. I've found that Fluco products have proven to be very good values. Happy with this purchase!!

I said I'd ordered more...

One of the newly arrived batch of straps (Brown Buffalo-Grain) on a 1970 Shanghai SS1 movement 1524 model. Fluco is now my go-to for classic leather -- ultra comfortable right from the get-go.

100% satisfied -- very grateful to Holben's for good short straps

These straps are is everything I want. They're flexible, comfortable, well built and classic. Makes it feel like this watch was made for me. I've already ordered more.

Perfect pairing

Purchased Record burgundy and Record brown buffalo-grain watch straps for my vintage 70’s Longines conquest wristwatch that was a Christmas gift from my Son. It is a perfect pairing for any vintage timepiece of this era. Quality is outstanding and it is very soft so no break in period is needed.

A Versatile Classic

I’ve had the Fluco Record in different colors on other watches in the past and always liked them. While looking for a strap to accent the blued hands of my Seiko Presage, I went with the Record in blue - perfect alternative to the typical black alligator dress strap. Still dressy without looking formal thanks to the subtle texture and the color is right on. I always find the perfect strap at HFWB.

Fluco Record a classic

I needed to update the strap on my father's Gruen from the 60's and decided to order a black Fluco Record Buffalo-grain. This strap provided all the vintage appeal I was looking for. Quality strap, flexible and comfortable right out of the box. Holben's has always been my first choice when needed straps and accessories. Prompt shipping and the best customer service in the business. Thanks!
