FS: Tropic type 22mm black perforated band curved ends

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 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.




Priced at $49.95 each plus $1.95 for U.S. shipping with tracking. International buyers add $7.75 for international shipping.

Paypal or mail payments accepted. Other straps purchased from me at the same time can ship for free. I have other Tropic rubber straps in 16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm. Email me if you want the link for the full selection.

I have many references here. Thanks - Bill Mahoney (Squinky)
