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.

Of the many tanneries in the world, only a few have earned a reputation for being the best. At the top of that short list is the Horween Leather Company, established in Chicago in 1905. Ulrich Fleischmann personally toured the Horween tannery and spent some time with Nick Horween himself, discussing all of the beautiful things that can be made from leather. Fleischmann was deeply impressed by the experience, and the two companies have now been partnering for years to produce beautiful shell cordovan watch straps.

Crafting shell cordovan leather requires a complex procedure that involves extensive expertise and skill to achieve the desired shape and color. The elaborate production process, along with the exceptional durability of this unique leather, validates the higher prices that shell cordovan goods generally command. That's why Fluco's collection of Horween shell cordovan watch straps is gaining a cult following for its superior material and detailed workmanship at a reasonable price point. You could pay a lot more for a Horween shell cordovan leather strap of this caliber... but why would you?

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.

My old Citizen never looked so good

I recently acquired an older example of Citizen's "Jump Hour" models, san's a complete bracelet. It's a smaller watch typical of the eighties - nineties era, most of which arrived with 18 mm steel bracelets. Mine came to me from Japan and I didn't realize there would be missing links. When it arrived I went directly to Holben's website where I found the Fluco Horween Leather band in Racing Black style, complete with bright silver buckle. It installed in a couple of minutes and it immediately transformed the looks of the watch. The fit and comfort are first class, no break-in period required. This is typical of the experiences I've had with Holben's, ultra fast service at very reasonable costs plus Mike never fails to offer suggestions (when asked) regarding possible bands to consider. You won't find a better place to buy your watch bands.

Phenomenal quality

I bought this strap for my Tag Heuer Carrera and am blown away by the quality and just how great of a pairing this is for my watch. 10/10

Outstanding

I bought this strap to put on my Omega Dynamic Date. This watch has been on all kind of straps, but this might be the best. The look and feel of the shell cordovan is better than most leather, and way better than the Ostrich strap I had been using the last year or so. I have it pictured on the wrist, and next to my wallet, which is not shell cordovan, but rather Horween Chromexcel.

The finest leather money can buy

Beautiful strap and a great price. Total value. Best choice for a sporty vintage chronograph.

GREAT BAND

I have 6 Fluco bands. Four of them are the suede Nizzas and I have two of the Shell Cordovans. All of them are very comfortable and work well with various watches. Fluco is a great brand and there quality is very good.

Horween Sport Strap

This strap gives the Tag Heuer Carrera Re-Edition its true classic look! Perfect Sale at a great price.

great product. love it!

Great product! Fast service!

Pretty good but too long and too thin

The strap is very good quality. It is slim. Also, with 6.75" wrists I was on the smallest hole. I actually added a hole to the strap.

On an Explorer the strap seemed a little too thin. Good quality and great value. Very nice finish. The holes and stitching are well done. A little too thin and too long.

gorgeous strap as described and super fast shipping. thanks!

I love this strap. It fits so well
