FS: Swiss Tropic signed bands in three styles

AUTHENTIC TROPIC SWISS MADE NEW OLD STOCK VINTAGE RUBBER STRAPS

Tropic watch bands. The original waterproof watch strap. Now very rare items to find in the most sought-after sizes and styles. Original Swiss Made bands that are New Old Stock from the 1960s/70s, as sold with many classic watches originally such as Rolex Submariner.

I have a small number of genuine Tropic-signed perforated, Tropic Sport big holes and Tropic 2000 slotted straps. These are some of the best quality waterproof straps ever produced. Very pliable rubber for a comfortable fit and durability.

A rare opportunity to fit your vintage or newer watch with an NOS black rubber Tropic strap the way many dive, chronograph and other watches were sold.

Here are Tropics in sizes 16mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, 22mm and 24mm. There are styles available with straight or curved ends, and one style has optional stealth black buckles available. The buckle end of all sizes of Tropics is 16mm (except on 16mm bands) if you have a branded buckle to substitute.
