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.
Looking for the finest quality full grain alligator grain-embossed Italian calfskin leather? You'll find it in Hirsch's Duke strap. With matching stitching, a semi-matte finish and medium padding, the Duke is a total 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.

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.
