NEW OLD STOCK ORIGINAL BANDS FROM THE 1960s/70s
BIG HOLES STYLE #1 - $69.95 EACH
New Old Stock black rubber dive bands made in Switzerland with the big holes and 22mm straight ends. Vintage NOS 22mm Tropic type band signed Sport and Swiss Made, Mod. Dep Int. This style is popular with Heuer Monaco, Heuer Silverstone, Heuer Calculator, Doxa dive watches and even newer watches like Luminox. Would look great on a vintage chrono or other large dive watch styles.
Signed on back with the logo of RK, a major 1960s/70s Swiss manufacturer of dive bands. Buckle signed on back Stainless Steel. Single sliding keeper. Standard length measuring a generous 7 1/2 inches long placed end to end, not counting the buckle. Strap buckle end is 16mm if you want to substitute a signed buckle.
STEALTH VERSION: Can also come with a black plastic stealth style buckle as shown below if you wish.
PERFORATED STYLE #2 - $44.95 EACH
Rare 22mm Tropic type band in black rubber with the small perforations, basket-weave finish and 22mm curved ends to fit the curve of the watch case perfectly. New Old Stock from the 1960s/70s.
This is the type of band that came with Breitlings, Seikos and other fine watches in the 1960s and 70s. The band is unsigned. Quality and thickness of the rubber is great. Strap measures a generous 7 7/8 inches placed end to end, not counting the buckle. Metric size is 125/75.
Takes a 16mm buckle if you have a signed one for this strap. Thick strap is 4mm thick at the watch end. Very pliable rubber. Large spring bar holes. Original vintage style stainless steel buckle. Single thick sliding strap keeper. Would look great on many watches.
These have gotten quite rare to find in 22mm size. I have a limited supply of NOS stock.
