Fluco Tropical FKM Rubber Watch Strap - Green
FKM rubber with full perforation and ventilated diamond-pattern underside.
The Fluco Tropical takes the classic tropic look and builds it in FKM rubber, so it holds up in heat, sun and water without losing its shape. The crosshatch surface and fully perforated holes are true to the original design, while the diamond-pattern underside adds airflow and helps it stay comfortable in warm conditions. Tropical is a natural fit for divers and sport watches where you want something durable that still feels easy to wear.
Material & feel
Genuine fluoroelastomer (FKM) rubber is the highest quality performance rubber in the world, known for its resistance to heat, UV exposure and chemicals.
The surface has a fine crosshatch texture with fully perforated holes. The underside features a diamond-pattern structure with channels that promote airflow. Finished with a brushed stainless steel buckle.

Very happy with this one! I have never owned an original tropic strap, but this one from Fluco feels and looks great. My only gripe is the buckle holes are spaced quite far apart and on my Caravelle Sea Hunter, the last hole is a little too tight and the next one is a little too loose. It is also quite long for my little 16cm wrist.
Great strap!!! Having owned OG Tropics, reissued and ‘style’ type, the fit and finish is superb! I was looking for a tropic color that would match the patina/wabi on my Seiko 6309-7049. The match is really perfect. I also added the titanium buckle for that “old school” look….also this style is more in line with the old tropic buckles.
I had a question prior to purchase and the customer service is excellent!
I have made numerouse purchases from Holben's and all have resulted in a quality prodect at a good price and delivered quickly.
The Fluco Tropical Blue FKM Rubber Quick Release Watch Strap is a perfect match for my RZE UTD-8000
This strap is very comfortable and you almost don't feel it on your wrist. Great and fast service from Holben's company!
Bought this as a more budget friendly alternative to a “real” tropic strap. Overall amazing quality and excellent value. Looks great on my seamaster.
High quality, very comfortable, lots of sizing options. Fine texture to its edges and band.
Holbensfinewatchbands came through again. I needed a strap to replace my fabric one which came on my Islander/TGV collaboration the Rangemaster mechanical. Fluco makes a great rubber strap at a great price. Many thanks to Holbens for carrying the line. Fast fullfillment. They are my go to as straps are most essential to watch enjoyment! I hope to do business with for many years to come and highly recommend.
Awesome strap for a fair price. Fast shipping. Very happy!! Will be doing business with again, and will recommend.
I purchased this because I have a few 20mm lug width watches it goes with. It's a quality strap with a vintage vibe. And it comes with Holben's service. A great combination!
This is the real deal - perforations that go all the way through and underside waffle pattern combine for a rubber strap with ventilation that really works. Sturdy without being stiff and flexible but not flimsy, so it’s very comfortable. Cleans up quickly and easily after a day on the water or working in the yard. Great all-around strap that I would definitely buy again.
As always, Holbens sells good products at fair prices. I’m many times over a repeat buyer.
I love this band. The feel is much softer than regular rubber straps as well as much more flexible.
While the photo might suggest a warm gray color, the true tone for the "Mouse Gray" variant is on the colder (blue) side instead. For my intended purpose it was perfect, but keep it in lind in case you intend to pair it with a warmer dial.
Great quality and silky smooth. Easy to take on and off with the quick release spring bars
Could not be happier with the product and Holben's in general. Very quick and easy service with prices that are great for the quality received. I will buy from again, and highly recommend to other watch enthusiasts.
Great quality and amazing price. Super high quality strap!
I bought this strap for a watch I got as a gift 40 years ago. I just had the watch repaired and it looked brand new. I wanted to make it look like it did when I got it and this strap was the closest that I could remember. The fit was great and the strap quality is fantastic
