FS: The original Swiss signed Tropic dive bands


19MM AND 20MM TROPIC TYPE STRAPS NEW OLD STOCK


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

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

PRICE: All sizes and styles are $29.95.


1) 19MM PERFORATED

Classic Tropic type perforated bands with the small holes in the basket-weave finish. Great for Seikos and other 19mm watches.

The straps measure 7 7/8 inches placed end to end, not including the buckle. Single sliding keeper. Strap is 3.5mm thick at the watch end.






2) 20MM PERFORATED

Classic 20mm perforated Tropic type band with the basket-weave finish. A staple in anybody’s collection for your Submariner, Speedmaster or other 20mm watch.

The straps measure 7 7/8 inches placed end to end, not counting the buckle. Single sliding keeper. Strap is 4mm thick at the watch end.






3) 20MM TROPIC SPORT BIG HOLES STYLE

These are Tropic Sport style straps with the big holes. Ideal for anything from a Heuer to a Submariner or even a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

4) 20MM SLOTTED STYLE

Sleep tapered shape with open slots and basket-weave finish on this Tropic type band. A slightly smoother appearance than many other Tropic styles.

The straps measure 7 3/4 inches placed end to end, not including the buckle. Single sliding keeper. Strap is 3.5mm thick at the watch end.






5) 19MM JUBILEE STYLE

Rubber strap shaped like a Jubilee bracelet, very comfortable design. Hidden buckle tang holes. Easy to use on a 20mm watch, too, as shown on the Submariner below.

7) 20MM PERFORATED WITH ROUND HOLES

These are very unique with the perforations and also three round holes on each side of the strap, with the classic basket-weave finish throughout the band.

The straps measure 7 1/2 inches placed end to end, not including the buckle. Double sliding keeper. Strap is 4mm thick at the watch end.
