Expertly crafted in Italy for more than forty years, vanilla-scented Bonetto Cinturini rubber dive watch straps have long been trusted by renowned watchmakers for their perfect combination of durability and comfort. Made from high-quality vulcanized nitrile butadiene (NBR) rubber, these waterproof, nontoxic and nonallergenic straps are engineered to withstand seawater and UV radiation from sunlight. In addition, thanks to the repellent properties of NBR rubber (unlike silicone), you can say goodbye to lint and dust! With hundreds (and hundreds) of positive reviews, Bonetto Cinturini straps are a great choice for any watch enthusiast.

With its slim profile and slanted end, Model 281 has a sleek, retro design inspired by 1960s dive watch straps. Round and ladder-style perforations provide a comfortable fit and allow air circulation.

Material:

  • Premium vulcanized NBR rubber (not silicone).
  • Vulcanization is a curing process using heat and sulfur that promotes strength, suppleness and protection from abrasion.
  • Polished stainless steel buckle with 8mm tang.

  • 18mm piece length 127mm / 78mm excluding buckle; total length 8-1/8" excluding buckle.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

Q: Can you suggest a strap that looks amazing with my watch?
A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

Q: I have an Apple watch. Will any of your straps work for me?
A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Q: Do you offer international shipping?
A: Yes! Visit our Shipping & Returns page for more information.

Q: May I return my purchase?
A: Holben's Fine Watch Bands accepts returns of unworn, undamaged merchandise for refund or exchange within thirty days of purchase. Learn more on our Shipping & Returns page.

Need help with sizing?
  • Inspect the underside of your current watch strap for width indicators.

Perfect match

Thanks Holben’s for another quality item! Love the Bonetto Cinturini rubber straps. An immediate upgrade for feel and style, paired with the Citizen BM8180-03E. Very comfortable.

Perfect fit for Zodiac

The Cinturini 281 is a perfect replacement for my Vintage Zodiac Seawolf !
The size is just right and the quality is amazing for the price.

Extremely comfortable strap that smells fantastic. I am a huge fan of Vanilla scented straps. I own a couple Isofrane straps which are renowned for their vanilla scent and i can guarantee that Bonetto Cinturini’s straps smells MUCH nicer and have a much better natural vanilla scent. If i’m stressed after a hard day of work the lovely vanilla scent emanating from my wrist relaxes me beautifully. I highly recommend Bonetto Cinturini and Holben’s!
