11 STYLES OF 19MM AND 20MM TROPIC TYPE DIVE BANDS

NEW OLD STOCK ORIGINALS FROM THE 1960s/70s

Here is a variety of black rubber 19mm and 20mm Tropic type dive bands. These straps are New Old Stock from the 1960s and ‘70s, and are increasingly difficult to find in these sizes and styles. The straps all are the unsigned type. They have their original stainless steel buckles. The spring bar holes are about 2mm. The straps take 16mm size buckles, if you want to add a signed buckle. Add a Heuer buckle on to any one of these straps for $120 extra.

OTD PRICE: All sizes and styles are discounted on OTD by $5 per band to $39.99, plus shipping costs. Discounts and free worldwide shipping offered if you buy 2, 3 or 4 bands at once.

As with most of my NOS stock, the supply of these straps is limited.
