Tropical Style Rubber Watch Strap by WatchBandit Original

Tropical Style Rubber straps became famous for a range of sports- and especially dive watches in the ‘60s and ’70s because of their durability, comfort and unique design, which is well known until this day. Furthermore they were often OEM standard for many well known watch manufacturers. The strap has a distinct cross-hatch pattern on top and an embossed diamond-shaped underside with lots of channels to derive water and sweat.

Perfect 1960s and ’70s Vintage-Style

It was very important to us, to stay very faithful to the original watch band design from the ‘60s and ’70s, to keep up the vintage flair, but also to use modern and high quality rubber, to increase the comfort and durability to modern standards. Our WatchBandit Original Tropical Style Watch bands are made from high quality and durable Fluorine (FKM) rubber with many advantages like: Excellent temperature resistance, high chemical stability, good weather, aging and oxygen stability, excellent resistance in mineral oils and fats, low gas permeability and very good resistance in non-polar media temperature range from –40 °C to +225 °C.

The diamond pattern is embossed on the inside of the Tropical Style Rubber Band – Blue, with lots of channels to derive water and sweat and it features quick-release spring bars for an easy installing process – Watch: NOMOS Ahoi Atlantik
