Watch Straps

Hypoallergenic watch straps

Some people are sensitive to watch straps and certain materials against the skin. Hirsch has developed a material called Pro Skin. It is a material developed and tested in collaboration with the University of Vienna. Hirsch straps in the CAMELGRAIN series feature this material attached beneath the leather strap so that the skin rests as much as possible against the Pro Skin layer. CAMELGRAIN is especially recommended for those who easily develop allergies and are sensitive to standard watch straps. 

Pro Skin is also available separately for those who want to attach the material under the watch case to prevent the metal from resting directly against the skin. Even though the steel and metals used by quality brands such as Hirsch and other established watchmakers are of high standard, it can be reassuring to know that there are alternatives and solutions if you experience skin reactions when wearing a watch or strap.

Get started and change your watch strap to vary your style

It is easy to change a watch strap once you know how to do it. With a spring bar tool, you can easily compress the pin that holds your strap in place. If you use Hirsch watch straps with a quick-release system, you only need your fingernails to switch between different straps. 

Here is a video showing how easy it is to change a strap using a spring bar tool and the Hirsch quick-release system.
