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.
Constructed from full grain, natural barrel-dyed calfskin leather, Hirsch's robust Ranger strap will acquire a beautiful patina with time and wear. In addition to accentuated contrast stitching at lugs and tip, this strap features oval sizing holes that contribute to the retro style. Ranger is untapered (the same width from end to end). Hirsch's proprietary 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 purchased this strap for a rather inexpensive microbrand with 22mm lugs, that came with a lesser-quality strap. This Hirsch Ranger immediately elevated a mediocre watch to a prized possession. I'm so in love with the feel of this strap that I'm planning to extend its use to other watches, like my Seiko diver, which also has 22mm lugs. The feel is supple but sturdy.
Very pleased with how this retro hunter style strap matches my Raven, Airfield. I was looking for a racier type of look for the watch and this Hirsch Ranger pulls that look off effortlessly. I paired the strap with a Flaco butterfly deployant clasp and am very pleased with the overall quality of both products. Also, the customer service I received from Holben’s was excellent. I will be a return customer for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
Good quality and basic strap for my Hamilton Field 42mm watch. Its relatively unassuming to wear casually daily with jeans, etc., but the black leather is good to wear with dress shirts and suit when needed. Ordering and delivery was fast and efficient. Strap is a bit short as I have 19cm wrist and am on the 2nd notch on the strap, but if you have smaller wrists you will have lots of room left on the strap. Quick release is nice, as I may switch back, now and then, to the metal bracelet that came with the watch.
