I had the horrible experience of buying a regular quick-release spring bar, only to have the non-handle end get stuck in my watch when I tried to remove it.
Long story short, I had to drill it out and ended up dropping the watch and damaging the crystal in the process. If I had these DeLugs bars, that would never have happened. With these, your tool can grab onto the non-handle end easily, allowing you to lift the band/bracelet out. Great for tight tolerance applications.
I love them and will be buying more! This is the only spring bar I will use from now on.
Great fitting straps, great color really brings out the white dial of my Santos. Comfortable as well. Easy to swap on and off. Delugs has done a really nice job considering how difficult it is to get an aftermarket Santos strap. You’re paying a lot but for these it’s worth it
Absolutely superb quality. Shipping is also extremely prompt. Both the rubber and sailcloth straps are extremely comfortable on the skin. I have ordered multiple straps already and don’t see this slowing down any time in the future.
My beloved Kurono Tokyo Chronograph Shiro needed a new strap to highlight the classy, vintage look of the dial. After a lot of thought I chose the Crazy Horse in rust. Great choice. Getting lots of compliments and the strap is really comfortable as well.
I purchased the Matte Mahogany Alligator Strap and found it to be excellent quality. I have no qualms with the strap itself, although I followed the strap size guide, and it was much too short. If you are purchasing a strap for a smaller cased watch, I’d recommend sizing up. I will be returning and purchasing another in the proper size.
The best match with my Orient Star M45 Limited Edition RE-AY0116A
Great strap quality and outstanding customer service. I have purchased many aftermarket straps and but from now on Delugs will be my go to.

I am in love with this strap. It arrived today. It's so comfortable, I fell asleep with it on the watch. Delugs hit it out of the park with the engraved clasp matching the dial pattern. Ever since I bought this watch at the start of the year, I had been waiting for a Delugs CTS rubber strap and they delivered a phenomenal product!
I will be buying a Santos de Cartier next mostly because of the Delugs straps available for it.
Have ordered straps and Fitwell buckles online (USA) as well purchased from the Singapore store in person (strap for my Swatch/Blancpain Fifty Fathoms). Recently had a minor issue with one of the orders but it was resolved immediately. Worthwhile the cost in purchasing from Delugs.
This was not an inexpensive purchase so my expectations were high. Happily, I was not disappointed. The quality of the strap is outstanding, from the material, stitching, sailcloth pattern, and overall finish. I especially like the leather backing which makes it more comfortable. The buckle is of equally high quality, with a nice design, signed, and a brushed finished. It wonderfully complements my Sinn 856 UTC. This was my first Delugs strap and I would rank them high on my list for future strap purchases.
Got the green ostrich strap from Delugs for my Grand Seiko Night Birch, and it turned out even better than expected. The leather is very soft and supple, comfortable right from the start. Craftsmanship is excellent, and the colour pairs nicely with the watch — understated but elegant.
I had my name embossed on both the strap and buckle, which adds a nice personal touch. Overall, really well-made and a pleasure to wear.
Arrived in less than 48 hours, mechanically perfect clasp and a soft well stitched gray leather strap. 10/10
The snap deployant clasp sent with my new strap quit holding and the company replaced it with the new style spring deployant clasp. It is beautiful and works much better. Thank you Delugs!
Once again Delugs delivers. Beautiful easy to use strap. The gold buckle is icing on the cake.
Love their product great quality and design. Fast shipping to the US as well!
Bought the Taupe epsom strap for my wife's Cartier Tank. Very well made and fits perfectly. Will buy more!
It’s a nicely finished, innovative product. I would see two points for improvement.
Getting in the shortened position is difficult. I really need to brace the buckle on a hard surface and push the bar.
In the shortened position, the tang sticks out. It would be nice to have a longer cutout.
In any case, I love it. Thanks
I love my Ingenieur, but the bracelet never felt right. It dug into my skin and made long days a chore. When Delugs announced the Navy CTS Rubber Strap made for the Ingenieur, I signed up right away. I kept my expectations low. Non-OEM straps have let me down before.
This one won me over from the first wear. The rubber feels soft yet secure and it is just great! The fit is exact and sits flush with the case. No digging. The swap took a few minutes with standard spring bars and the strap locked in perfectly. By the way, the magnetic clasp system: BRILLIANT! The navy color suits the watch’s look and, because it doesn’t have texture, it helps the beautiful white dial texture pop.
My Ingenieur finally feels like an all day watch. If your bracelet bothers you, try this. It makes the watch more fun and far more comfortable. I would buy it again.
