Hirsch Kent Leather Watch Strap - Black
Vegetable-tanned calfskin with traditional backstitched seaming.
Made from vegetable-tanned Italian calfskin, the Kent has a soft, natural surface with subtle grain and tonal variation that become more noticeable over time. The rounded padding, backstitched seams and long pointed tip keep the shape traditional. This strap suits polished steel watches, vintage-inspired dress pieces and everyday watches.
Material & feel
Kent is made from supple, vegetable-tanned Italian calfskin selected for its flexibility and durability. It is generously padded, giving it a rounded contour and structured feel in hand. The edges are folded to create a smooth, uninterrupted perimeter. The underside is lined with Hirsch Softglove leather, which is hypoallergenic and designed for comfortable contact against the skin.

Very nice dressy strap of superior quality to Ali Express trash. Holbens was a fine company to deal with (first time). They packaged the strap very well and shipped it super fast- no stories. The Hirsch Kent is a high quality and supple strap. It has nicely dyed, slightly padded exterior, quality stitching and a soft underbelly. The buckle and quick release pins are of good quality befitting an expensive time piece. The Hirsch Kent offers a robust loose follower and gleaming pin buckle. The standard size fits my 7” wrist perfectly with no break in required. The only area of improvement I could mention, and it is very minor, is Holbens classifies this as a ‘Substantial Strap.’ Although beautiful and well made, it is more dressy than substantial. Especially if you’ve eve had one of Sinn’s OEM leather straps! But overall, if it is dressy you are after, the Hirsch Kent is unbeatable at this price point. And Holbens are a quality and trustworthy vendor to work with.
The band is great, and the service from Holben’s was too. I appreciated the wide selection of quality products and quick delivery.
This is an outstanding watch strap! Aa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@@!!!!!!×5555555665666667755545<8^^$_*;$#&*%#/>%$$^^$_*^=_&%$;?&^÷#&*<%&>*€■■¤○♡◇¥5|《¿€}□♤£}{♤♡€}{■££8}|\¤■♡《》□●◇♡¤♡■{♤♡¥£
Great watch strap and top-notch customer service. I have bought several straps from Holben's and they are fantastic to work with! Five Stars... The color was perfect and the quality of the leather was great for the price point. Highly recommended.
The Hirsch Kent Black calf skin band is the perfect complement for my brushed silver dial Omega Deville. And as a bonus, the leather aroma is intoxicating.
Ordered this strap and have had it for a little over a year now. Super comfortable and still looks new!
I wanted to replace the black patent leather strap that came with my Seiko SARB065, as I found that it was not a particularly versatile style, and had also gotten rather gross from years of daily wear to the office. I chose the 20mm version of this Hirsch Kent blue leather strap, and I found it to be an ideal match. To my eyes, this strap is a dark blue that still registers as dark blue in all but the dimmest indoor light. The color complements the watch's blue seconds hand, and the polished buckle matches well with the polished surfaces of the case. The included quick-release spring bars made installation a breeze, and everything fits as it should.
I had heard good things about Holbens bands and I was not disappointed with this purchase.
I needed a replacement for the original band on my Junghans Max Bill which was pretty mediocre and wore out faster than it should have.
This band has fantastic quality and looks. And I love the quick release pins.
I will definitely be buying from Holbens again.
The Herschel Kent is a nice quality leather watch strap that is perfect for most watches. The thickness of the strap is perfect, not too thin or too thick. Highly recommended for your new or vintage watch.
