: especially rare in a Long Length like this. Produced in the
: 1960s/70s and discovered as vintage New Old Stock. This Exotic

: and these special Long Length versions are very desirable for
: watch collectors with larger wrist sizes. Finding these in Long
: Length is nearly impossible. Nice deep texture to the skin. From
: a time when vintage watch bands were made with better materials
: than what is used today in modern straps. Long Length straps
: measure 8 1/2 inches (21.8cm) placed end to end, not including
: the buckle, a full inch more than standard straps. Metric
: measurements of the two pieces are 128/90mm. Lightly padded
: strap that won't detract from a fine watch but has strong
: thickness. Band is 3.8mm thick where it meets the watch and
: 3.6mm thick at the tail end. The buckle end width is 16mm. Comes
: with a unique shape JB Champion steel buckle or you can request
: a yellow gold-tone buckle.
