Headquartered in Klagenfurt, Austria, Hirsch was established in 1765 as a leather workshop and tannery. It remains a family-owned business to this day, and continues to gain recognition for excellence and innovation in watch strap design. Hirsch's popular Performance collection of classic leather and vegan materials combined with premium caoutchouc rubber is a multiple award winner.

The Arne Performance strap is constructed using an innovative high-tech yarn made from SEAQUAL marine plastic that sets completely new standards in terms of recycling. The global SEAQUAL Initiative is committed to cleaning up our oceans, beaches, rivers and estuaries. The organization works closely with waste management and recycling industries to transform marine litter into SEAQUAL marine plastic. From this seemingly useless waste, certified manufacturers produce SEAQUAL yarn, which is unparalleled in terms of sustainability and low resource consumption.

Durable, resilient Arne is 100% vegan, scratch resistant, water resistant, moisture regulating and quick drying. Arne's thick black natural caoutchouc rubber lining is hypoallergenic and resistant to external influences such as UV light and chemicals, and its superior groove structure ensures constant ventilation on the wrist.

All of our Hirsch straps 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.

Recycled PET material from the ocean with a sailcloth look.

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?
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.

Good strap, great service

This strap was hard to find in the color that I wanted. Thanks to Holben's for choosing to carry it and for promptly delivering it. Easy installation on my Sangin Merlin. 4/5 because I can't seem to find a right hole for my wrist, 2nd is too tight and 3d is too loose. Otherwise, good quality and great look.

Sporty and Sturdy!

Hirsch Arne is a sporty and sturdy everyday wearing option, with high quality construction that disappears on the wrist. The updated vegan version features a textile upper, which provides premium details in look and feel compared to just an embossed texture. The earth tone strap seems to shift between green or brown depending on lighting, and the complimentary colors of the watch. I usually prefer 'Long' size straps, so thanks to Hirsch for providing a few crucial extra millimeters of strap in their 'Regular' size, compared to numerous other brands, to make this workable. I think this could work for office use, but it's slightly more dressed down than up.

Banger!

Sharp strap from Hirsch - just the right amount of class and performance all mixed together. Easy to dress up or down. Slapped it on my Hamilton Intramatic Chrono and haven't taken it off since!

And Holben's is hands-down one of the best shops around. Great pricing, great service, and fast shipping - why go anywhere else?!?!

Sailcloth strap

Very good quality
Light and sturdy
Good for summer
Easy to install
Still adapting to my wrists, however is comfortable
The customer service is outstanding
I recommend Holbens

Outstanding Band!

After a long search, I purchased this band as an alternative to my well-worn 35 year-old Datejust bracelet. This band checks all my boxes: flexible and supple, waterproof (or highly resistant, anyway), sweat resistant, not hot or sticky, quality materials, nice buckle, interesting textures, and not extravagantly expensive. And A+ service from Holben's!
