FS: Simple matte black bands for your Heuer like the originals

We’ve all seen the pictures of that simple, flat black band alternative listed in the original catalog and magazine ads for vintage Heuers. These are European-made leather bands from the 1960s/70s that have that look. Made by DP in Holland.


These are flat, unpadded type straps. Thickness is just 2.3mm where the band meets the watch and 1.3mm at the tail end. In matte black leather finish. Band measures 7 3/4inches (20cm) placed end to end, without the buckle counted in. Metric measurement of the two pieces is 83/115mm.

The buckle end is 15.5mm wide. These have unusual two-spring bar buckles, with no slot in the leather for the tang. You can opt for a steel or gold-colored buckle in that style. You could also carefully cut a notch in the buckle end and slightly squeeze down a 16mm Heuer signed buckle to fit this band or I could supply it to you that way for an additional fee.

SIZES/QUANTITY

16mm - 1 available
18mm - 2 available
20mm - 2 available - one with straight ends and one with slightly curved ends (not pictured)

With a steel Heuer reissue buckle installed, the price is $120 each.
