19MM and 20MM PERFORATED OR BIG HOLES SWISS TROPIC BANDS
The most difficult size and styles of authentic Swiss signed Tropic dive bands to find for Heuer diver, Autavia, Carrera, Montreal or Camaro, as well as your Rolex Subs, Sea-Dwellers, GMT-Master, Seikos, etc. Your choice of black perforated straight ends Swiss signed Tropic or a big Tropic Sport band in the most popular sizes of 19mm or 20mm. The 20mm Swiss Tropic fully perforated bands have been sold out and very difficult to source, but I have finally found another small supply. They are the band the Rolex AD would have put on your vintage Sub or GMT-Master originally if you asked for the watch on a rubber dive strap.
Both styles are new old stock from the 1960s/70s. The same bands the Heuer would have offered or a Rolex Authorized Distributor would have put on a Rolex sports watch as an original accessory of that period if the buyer asked for a dive band. With the premium distinct large Tropic buckle shown.These bands take a 16mm size buckle if you have a signed one to substitute (add a Heuer buckle for $95).
1) 19MM or 20MM PERFORATED - classic basket-weave perforated Tropic
19MM: Length measures 7 1/4 inches long (18.5cm), with the pieces placed end to end, not counting the buckle.
20MM: Length measures a generous 8 1/8 inches long, with the pieces placed end to end, not counting the buckle.
The sizing holes for this style run all the way down the middle, so this band will fit many size wrists.
Band is 5mm thick where it meets the watch and 3mm thick at the tail end. Nice pliable, soft rubber.
19mm size is $195
20mm size is $295
2) 18MM, 19MM or 20MM TROPIC SPORT- big holes style Tropic
These bands are sized to fit many wrists. Length measures 7 ½ inches long, with the pieces placed end to end (115mm/75mm), not counting the buckle. Band is 4.5mm thick where it meets the watch and 2.4mm thick at the tail end. Nice pliable, soft rubber.
The price is $175 each. (Also available in grey 18mm or 20mm.)
