These are the Fluco bestsellers

For watch straps, two numbers such as 20/16 represent the lug width and the buckle width in millimeters:

→ 20mm Indicates the lug width, i.e., the width of the strap at the point where it attaches to the watch. Always important!

→ 16mm Indicates the buckle width, i.e., the width of the strap at the point where the pin buckle or folding clasp is attached. Only conditionally important if you want to use the original buckle from your watch.

In general, all of our leather straps are significantly more durable than those from other manufacturers. Each strap is fitted with a special Fluco reinforcement on the inside, which stabilizes the leather and protects it from deformation or stretching.

We primarily use full-grain leather, the top and most robust layer of the hide. This leather is particularly dense, breathable, and develops a refined patina over time. Some models consist of top-grain leather or split leather – the respective type of leather is specified under each strap.

You can find more details on the differences between the types of leather in our article “Leather types at Fluco – Full Grain, Top Grain & Split Leather compared.”

In short: Fluco straps are more durable than ordinary leather straps – thanks to high-quality materials and our own reinforcement.

The following leather watch straps are particularly well-suited for classic automatic watches:

• Smooth calf leather – a timeless classic: elegant, simple, and comfortable to wear. Ideal for formal and classic watch models.
  
• Alligator or crocodile leather – a high-quality, sophisticated option that accentuates the luxurious character of an automatic watch. Perfect for dress watches.
  
• Vintage leather straps – with a slightly aged look and patina, ideal for watches with a retro or heritage design.
  
• Nubuck or suede – a matte, velvety surface that provides a more modern, yet still classic, effect.
  
• Brown or black leather: Universal colors like dark brown or black go well with almost all classic automatic watches.
  
  

It is important that the color and finish of the strap match the case color and the dial. A simple, high-quality leather strap highlights the elegance of the watch and ensures a timeless look.

If you prefer something a bit sportier, the Fluco Hunter Racing with its stitching and perforation is a great choice – sporty, yet still classic.

Fluco – now available from us!

Our watch straps are produced entirely in our workshop in the Bavarian Forest – from the first stitch to the finished product.

We are among the last five manufacturers in Europe that still actually produce here, rather than just designing or assembling. Every strap is crafted with artisan precision, using the highest-quality materials. 100% Made in Germany

With us, because that is exactly what we specialize in.

In our experience, our Deauville watch strap lasts particularly long because it is made from high-quality full-grain leather. This leather is neither sanded nor corrected, remains breathable, and develops a natural patina over time instead of wearing out prematurely.

Many of our customers wear the Deauville regularly for years. Even after 5 years of daily use, the strap often still looks very good – with character, but without material breakage or fraying.

The reason for this is the combination of:

• genuine full-grain leather
  
• careful tanning
  
• neat edge finishing and sturdy stitching
  

Conclusion:

If you are looking for a leather watch strap that won't be worn out after a year, but will age well over the years, you are on the safe side with the Deauville.

Our leather comes primarily from Germany as well as from the most renowned tanneries in France, Italy, and the USA.

We select only high-quality, sustainably tanned leathers from the best manufacturers in the world to ensure the highest quality and durability. Each of our watch straps is crafted with the utmost care in our manufactory in the Bavarian Forest – 100% Made in Germany.
