Customer Reviews
This is very well made and extremely comfortable. I bought it for my Bulova lunar pilot but it looks great on my Citizen chrono. I liked it so much, I bought a Connery and a SWCC for other watches.
I get it. These are not inexpensive straps. But, WOW!, are they ever comfortable. I bought this one for a Breitling Aerospace, just for the royal blue stripe and mirage matching the Breitling's colors pretty well. I have never worn a more comfortable strap. They're a little difficult to get hooked, until you get the hang of it. Then, no problemo. I also wear a Seiko Turtle on one of these, and it works so well with that rather heavy watch that I forget I have the watch on.
You can order directly from Erika, and provide your exact wrist size to have it made for you. However, that will take longer, and unless you're below the 15th-percentile or above the 90th-percentile, the regular size carried here should work fine for you. I tried a short one from here first, and it barely works with my 6.5" wrist. The other ones I've gotten have been the regular, for 7" wrists, and they work great.
Like the review title says, I find the strap comfortable and easy to wear. Infinitely adjustable and durable too. I bought one several years ago for a different watch, and it’s still in great shape. Overpriced? Maybe. But it is well made and will last. I’d purchase another one.
This band is phenomenal. I’ve worn it in a suit, in uniform, rock climbing, and shooting. This band shows little to no sign of wear, and has unmatched comfort in a wide range of activities and highly physical environments. It will stay on my daily/ beater watch for a long time to come.
While not as easy to install as a nato, for me the extra effort was worth it.
A quality band that wears comfortably and is easy to use (for left hand wear position the keeper an inch or so below the top lugs).
Shipping was extremely fast!
