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.
Made from elegant gloss calfskin leather with realistic crocodile-grain embossing, the Crocograin is an enduring classic. Hirsch's Softglove lining leather is hypoallergenic and gentle on the skin.
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.

Not too stiff for a new strap so it wears well. Came with the gold buckle as ordered. Very pleased with the purchase all round.
I wanted a strap for my Grand Seiko SBGW283 and this strap was perfect in every way, from it's thickness, glossy texture and color. Could not be happier.
and great selection too. thanks!
(Order #94313 December 16, 2024) Excitement short lived. I was so excited to order this watchband and change out an older one (40 years!) I just received it today. Seems like a long time for shipment. After two hours, I gave up on getting the watchband changed over. Just would not fit. Measurements were exact. Very disappointed as seems like a quality product and reputable company.
Hi Stephen,
Thank you for your review. I understand your frustration with the extended transit time for shipping. We mailed your order the day you placed it, but USPS delays can definitely occur in the weeks prior to Christmas. Regarding the fit of the strap, we would be happy to help if you want to contact us directly. We appreciate your feedback on both issues.
We were given an old, family Seiko tank watch. So old the leather band broke apart. Had a new battery put in and works like a charm so purchased this band to replace the old. Looks stunning. Great quality watchband.
Mike is one of the best. Always has time to talk with you about all things watches and is a pleasure to do business with. I have been working with Mike for multiple years now and I cannot say enough good things about the man and his business. Highly recommend.... you will not be disappointed.
The quality of the Hirsch Crocograin watch band is very apparent. I was looking for a nice replacement for my Swiss made watch. The service provided by Mike post sale was outstanding. The watchband needed curved pins to fit appropriately. Mike sent me a pair once I contacted him with my issue. He also provided me instructions on how to remove the quick release pins from the Hirsch watch band which was necessary for use of the curved pins. So nice these days to find reputable businesses providing excellent service.
I just recently purchased another watch band from Holben’s for my sports watch as a result of my excellent experience.
Wanted to get a new black strap for my vintage gold Longines, but found it difficult to find a high-quality - but reasonably priced - 17mm strap on other sites. (Apparently it's a more difficult size to get?)
Got the strap, with an extra buckle. Love the quick-release bar. Even my watch person was impressed, after suggesting I go to another site for a 17mm strap (of course it doesn't carry that size.)
