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 win awards for excellence and innovation in watch strap design.
An ideal bracelet for sports and diving watches, the Hirsch Pure is constructed of premium, thick, natural caoutchouc rubber. Pure is completely waterproof, dimensionally stable, tear-proof, and resistant to external influences such as UV light and chemicals. Suitable for those with sensitive skin, it is moisture-regulating and dries quickly thanks to its concave underside (only the edges touch the wrist). A built-in stopper secures the keeper and prevents the strap from twisting and slipping.
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 use several types of straps in my collection, but good rubber is my favorite. I’ve been around the block with many rubber straps, this is one of the best for sure. This strap is very FKM like, and thankfully has no scent. I cannot use the vanilla scented straps as they give me a headache. The biggest selling point is the sizing. Not nearly enough straps offer multiple sizes and it makes all the difference. I ordered the “short” strap and it’s perfect for my 7 inch wrist. I definitely recommend the Hirsch Pure!
High quality, comfortable, breathable, and scent free. Short length is perfect for 6 1/2 inch wrists. A minor caveat is the keepers are a little tight and not the most graceful to slide the strap through.
I bought a “M” Hirsch Pure Black strap. The only rubber straps I’m familiar with are the ones from BONETTO CINTURINI or OEM Panerai. I’d say this Hirsch strap is closer to the Panerai. The quality, comfort, and attention to detail. Plus they are both made out of the Caoutchouc rubber.
The strap is thin but has a nice suppleness to it. It is a matte black and looks great on everything I’ve tried it on. Other reviews said the underside was flat. It definitely has a curve to the underside. For me, it works great to allow the skin to breathe and not have holes cut into the strap that can be sharp sometimes. The strap and buckle are light and comfortable. The quick-release spring bars are really nice and high quality. My only issue is the sizing. I bought a short “M” size and it’s a tad small. I thought from the 110x70mm sizing it would be good but I wish I bought the regular “L” version. I got around this by removing the second keeper. I’ve got it on an Omega Seamaster 300 36mm Midsize. The strap is so good though, that I’ll probably buy the “L”.
