Swiss Tropic 'Sport'

Openly referred to as the best aftermarket watch strap available (if of course you are able to get your hands on them, they went out of production in the 70's)

Back then if you wanted a rubber dive band for your Rolex Submariner rather than the metal bracelet, the watch would have been supplied by Rolex with a Swiss Tropic strap.

Personally we prefer to fit all/any vintage watches with these Swiss made straps as standard. It's a nice finishing touch and adds a bit of flair.

Vintage watches from the 50's and 60's in general have a lug size (band width) of either 16mm or 18mm, though some can be as small as 14mm. The majority of vintage Rolex Oyster models take a 19mm strap.

The Tropic Sport band will add value to any vintage watch (both financial and aesthetic).
