Hirsch Kansas Brown Leather Watch Strap

Love the color! Nicely compliments the gold hands & numbers, cream dial, and stainless steel case of my 1953 Universal Geneve.
As always, the Fluco delployant clasp is a great option.
FYI, when sized to my 7.25” wrist, the clasp post ended up in the 4th of the strap’s 8 holes.

I thought this band would be thicker but is fairly thin. It would be good on a standard thin profile dress watch but it seems out of place on my thicker dive style chronograph. I was also disappointed that the end that connects to the watch is only folded over the pins glued and not stitched like the rest of the band along the edge, so over time in humid environments it may separate.

This is the third Hirsch strap I have purchased and I will purchase another one after I complete this review. The last strap I purchased had a defective quick-release spring bar - the pin broke off. The same day I emailed Holbens about the issue, Mike emailed me a shipping label to exchange the defective strap. Within a week of returning the defective strap I received it’s replacement. I give five stars to Hirsch, for the quality of its straps (the aforementioned spring bar issue was an exception), and Holbens for its vast array of straps and excellent customer service. -OMS

Hirsch Kansas Blue Watch Strap
I was so happy when the band arrived - it looked even better in person.
The rich navy blue color is stunning and you can feel and see the quality in this band too.

I have small wrists and love how well this band fits me and my watch. Also love the tiny knob to retract the post on the band to insert in my watch!
