The only disappointing thing about my new Grand Seiko Elegance SBGH263 was the band. I wish they would offer a pin buckle option and the EXTRA GLOSSY crocodile band actually surprised me. This Hirsch alligator strap in a far more subtle MATTE brown is a much better match to my style. The short band was also a perfect fit to my smaller wrist.
Ordered this band for my 1965 Hamilton A-652 gold three hand. I previously wore the brown version as business casual. The black is for a more formal event. Overall my experience with Hirsch has been excellent. In particular this band does not disappoint. I highly recommend. The quality and workmanship at this price point exceeds my expectations. I have several OEM bands from Oris, Hamilton, Breitling, Laco, and Omega. Hirsch is now my go-to brand. You won't be disappointed
I needed a black strap for my vintage Longines dress watch. The lugs are 17mm in width and I have a slim wrist, so there aren't many choices for a 17mm short strap. The alligator grain provides visual interest and the leather is of high quality. All in all, I'm pleased that Hirsch makes a variety of strap sizes and lengths and that Holben's has them in stock at a price that doesn't break the bank.
This strap made my watch wearable. Replaced, as like-for-like with a pin-buckle, for the strap on the SPB121, which I found profoundly uncomfortable. Finally putting this one I can enjoy it. It is comfortable out of the box. It has good bolstering but somehow is also conformant. As the owner of a ridiculously small wrist I really appreciate the availability of the shorter length; it is perfect.
This is my 7th straps, purchased from Holbens since 2021! Mike (Owner of Holbens)provided unparalleled customer service/satisfaction each & every single time!
This strap is paired with my vintage pie pan connie. The quality of this strap is excellent. Soft & supple leather. The thickness is perfect for this 61 year old dress watch. The strap looks awesome & feels great on the wrist . Replaced the buckle with an Omega 18k yellow gold buckle!
Lightning fast shipping as always!
Beware of sizing as a normal length is L. Otherwise great strap overall. I wanted an alligator grain high gloss strap but this was the best option I've found. After some Saphir mirror gloss, it turned out to be exactly what I wanted.
I'll keep it short but simply put this strap is fantastic quality at a great price. I used it on the 7750 chrono i built for myself which i take great pride in my customs so I wouldn't use anything that wasnt quality. Highly recommended by GS Watch Repair and Sales. Look us up on Instagram
Inherited a vintage Rolex Date (manufactured in 1972). The original Rolex bracelet had rivets that prevented links from being removed without damaging the bracelet, and it could not be resized any smaller to accommodate my wrist. This Hirsch band (in 19mm Short) fits my Rolex--and my wrist--perfectly. The craftsmanship of the band is superb, and the Holben's price is unbeatable . . . true value for money! Quick, trouble-free shipping, too.
A+ strap. Very classy and not too thick for a dress watch. Build quality is excellent. It’s paired here with a vintage Omega Seamaster, the quick release bars make it easy to swap. Holben’s service is best-in-class!
This is my third strap I purchased from Holben’s and every time they exceed my expectations. As soon as I placed my order I immediately I received a thank you note and made themselves available. The strap I bought for my Cartier Santos Dumont was made in Germany and is made of high quality material, the price was at least 60% below what others charge. I will always purchase my future Watch straps from Holben’s. Thank you for the great customer service.
All hirsch straps are phenomenal. Purchased for my grey dial oris propilot. Looks like it should've came from the factory.
What can I say. Everything Hirsch makes is great. This is no exception. I have two more of this same strap in black.
Amazing upgrade for my Seiko Alpinist (SPB121). Gives an elevated build quality and aesthetic, but with the same feeling of the original strap.
Nice strap. Purchased for Hamilton Ventura. Better than OEM and quick release. First purchase and will buy from Holben’s again.
I purchased a Seiko SPB121 recently. Great watch but the original strap was so short I couldn't wear it comfortably. I looked at various shops on the internet. Holbens had such great reviews I purchased a strap here. The good reviews were well earned. The strap is beautiful, well made and very comfortable. It fits my 8 inch wrist perfectly. The strap's quick release feature made the transfer to the Seiko strap hardware easy.
This is my first Hirsch strap and will not be my last. The quality is evident from the moment you get you hands on it. Holben's was fantastic as well, two great companies that will definitely get my highest recommendation and repeat business.
Such a wonderful watch strap. My watch originally came with a dark blue watch strap that was very nice but this one took it to the next level. It feels like it can work with any outfit now. I couldn't be happier and I would absolutely recommend it.
Really enjoying this watch strap that I purchased for dressing up one of my watches. Has a nice subtle padding that's just thick enough to be noticeable, and the leather is good quality. Comfortable and looks dressy. Has a matte / satin finish, not glossy at all. Works well for my use case!
This is the perfect strap to go with a gold & silver vintage-inspired watch of mine. I’ve worn it a few times now and it looks and feels great.
I am very happy with this purchase, from the ordering process to the product I received.
Found the perfect watchband to go with my wifes new watch.
The Hirsch Duke is a classic watchband, made with good (albeit stiff initially!) quality leather and of course Hirsch craftsmanship. Give it a few weeks and the leather softens and shapes itself to the wearer's wrist. I especially like the dark grey stitching that compliments the black leather. I think it's the best watchband in its class, I've bought several of them over time. Hirsch products are always dependable in terms of comfort and quality, that's the reason they've been around for so long as a company and brand. Definitely recommended.
This band is high quality great fit and is comfortable to wear. No need for a long break in period. The band was soft and flexible out of the box. It works great with my Seiko Lord Marvel and I have no complaints.
Exactly what I was looking for to spruce up my Grandfather’s vintage Seiko Sea Lion Weekdater. Quality leather and a nice amount of padding to give it a more substantial feel. I also added a deployant buckle to keep the grain looking sharp for years. Very pleased with the combo.
Ordered this strap a couple weeks ago and as all the other Hirsch straps its of good quality for the money. I love that I know I can by Hirsch and get an affordable good quality strap. Service from Holbens as always prompt and without reason to complain, even as a Canadian I like to order through them for the great selection and fast service.
Love the straps, the bonus to this was I could get the shorter lengths which turned out to be perfect! Very comfortable, beautifully made and you'll have my future business.
