Hirsch Tradition Buckle

The measurement of the space between your watch lugs (in millimeters) is the watch band size you will need. Your current strap may have the size noted on the backside (for example "20" would mean it's a 20mm strap).

For length, we recommend measuring your wrist or your existing strap (not metal bands), and use our size guide to determine the best length for you.
Watch Strap Size Guide

A deployant/deployment clasp replaces a standard buckle and helps extend the life of your watch band. Our push button clasps are made of 316L stainless steel and are individually quality checked to ensure proper connection points.

These clasps are keepers! Use over time with different straps by ordering a strap with the same taper (lug width x buckle width) as your last one.

If added to your order, we will attach it to your strap before shipping.

Well, there are a few differences, and yes!

A deployant clasp instead of a standard buckle will extend the life of your watch band. You feed the long end of the strap in the clasp to your desired adjustment hole and keep it there, eliminating that pull on the buckle each time. Plus, a clasp can be used on multiple straps and it's pretty easy to do; it attaches with a spring pin like your strap does to your watch.

Our favorite and best selling clasp is our own Push Button Deployant Clasp. This is what's known as a double fold or butterfly style and is available with most all of our watch bands as an add on option. These are selectively sourced, beautifully finished, heavyweight 316L stainless steel clasps made right. We check each one prior to shipping to ensure proper working condition and attach it to your strap so it's ready to wear.

We also offer the Hirsch Single Fold Deployant Clasp; a high quality clasp made with heavyweight 316L stainless steel and finished with the signature Hirsch "H" logo. It's a pressure held clasp that has only one folding point and "snaps" into place. To unlock, pull firmly from connection point. This clasp is only offered in select sizes so it is only available through the direct product page. To order with your strap, select the buckle size of the strap for your clasp size and we will attach it for you.
These can sometimes be a little loose, we strive to check each one prior to shipping, however if you do receive one that does not connect tightly, please contact us immediately for a replacement.

Lastly, we offer the Hirsch Pusher Deployant Clasp.
Relationship status: It's complicated
Basically, if you know, you know. If you don't, don't buy it.

We do not offer custom watch straps at this time.

We are proud to offer some of the finest watch bands available. We are authorized distributors for our manufacturers and we examine every piece to ensure its quality standards.

As a retailer, we work with select companies that use the best leathers and the highest standards in production. These brands include Hirsch (Austria), Rios (Germany) and our own Strapped For Time collection (made in France and Italy).

Unfortunately we are not set up at this time to accept customer watches for repair or watch band attachment. It's fairly easy to do yourself with a spring pin tool, or you can take it to your local jeweler and they can attach it for you.

No, we are not a manufacturer. We are a small retail business, offering a variety of watch bands from a select group of manufacturers we have known and worked with for over 20 years.

Our long-standing relationships with our vendors allows us to carry a large selection of hard to find sizes and unique colors and styles that you won't find in a jewelry store.

We recommend using a leather conditioner and to wear the strap regularly to naturally break it in.

Cleaning

• wipe gently with a damp cloth after wear.
  
• soak in water or use harsh chemicals.
  
• let it air-dry naturally.
  

Conditioning and Moisturizing

Apply leather conditioner once every 3–4 months to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Use products made specifically for watch straps.

Long-Term Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure the band is not tightly bent or crushed.

Yes, all products are warrantied for 1 year. Just give us a call or email us and we'll send a replacement with a return label for the defective strap.
