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.
One of Hirsch's perennial bestsellers, the Liberty is constructed from a single piece of particularly sturdy, vegetable-tanned saddle leather that is dyed fiber-deep in the barrel. Liberty is finished with three layers of lacquer hand-applied to the edges. Liberty is a cinch to clean: simply rinse under lukewarm running water, then dry with a cotton cloth.
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 ordered this band a few months ago as the original band on my Citizen Cal.E280 was too short. The leather is of high quality, and repeated wearings show no wear on either the leather or the stitching, and just a little break in shaping and bending in the buckle area - actually less than I expected for such a thick band. The integral pins are holding quite well, and though I did order a set of standard pins, I won't be using them. The band has taken on just a tiny bit of patina from the environment... just enough to make it look ageless.
I had some concerns about the sizing of the band in comparison to the generic sizing description on the website, and Holbens excellent customer service walked me through to make sure I got exactly what size I needed. I'm totally happy to give this band, and Holbens as a company, a 5 star review.
Extremely comfortable quality strap. Little if any breakin time. Quick and easy install thanks to quick release spring bars. 20mm strap. Installed Holben's 18mm brushed stainless steel buckle to match the brushed surfaces on the watch. Always have buckles on hand. Love the buckle and strap. Service provided by Holben's is always top tier. Thanks Mike!
I don't believe there is a more comfortable, handsome, and well made leather strap for the money. I loved it on my Seiko SARX043 and it took my Baby Alpinist to a whole new level!
The leather is supple and thick. Looks fantastic on the wrist and really compliments the watch. Well crafted. You can just tell it will hold up well. Will be purchasing a black one this week for my new chronograph. The extra long fits my 8 1/4 inch wrist wonderfully. Shipping was fast and the packaging was more than adequate. Push the button you won't be disappointed.
The 4.5mm thickness of the full grain leather coupled with the off-white contrast stitching makes for a perfect match with this seiko dresskx. This is my first Hirsch strap, and the quality does not disappoint. I wanted a strap for work since the bracelet seems a little dressy for biz casual. Great choice.
Soft, high quality, color is amazing,,, goes smoothly with my longines heritage 1945
I’m very pleased with the Hirsch Liberty strap. Thick, strong leather that still molds to the curvature of your wrist. This strap is hard to beat for the price. Love it on my Omega Seamaster.
Great band. Just the look I was going for.
The Hirsch Liberty is a very well crafted quality strap at a great price! It’s thick yet remains soft and subtle. The workmanship and materials are first rate. I can easily recommend this strap.
The quality of the strap is excellent and comfortable. Love the color! Definitely recommend.
