The original and authentic TROPIC rubber watch strap, trusted by the world’s most renowned dive watch manufacturers since the early 1960s, remains the foremost choice for discerning vintage and modern watch collectors. Originally manufactured in Switzerland, it is now made in Italy using the highest quality 100% vulcanized rubber available, further improving its durability and comfort. TROPIC straps are 100% silicone-free, waterproof, hypoallergenic and nontoxic.

TROPIC faithfully retains its original retro aesthetic (including perforations for quick-drying comfort) and cross-hatched 'tapestry' texture, with one well-received design evolution: updated rounded ends for improved aesthetics and fit.

FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch 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 me shorten it?
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.

HOW OTHERS ARE PAIRING IT

#holbensfinewatchbands on Instagram to share your setup here

A great strap and great color

A quality tropic strap and a great green color. Works well with any vintage or vintage-inspired watch. I have min on a Seiko SPB143. The rubber is soft and flexible, more so than most FKM versions. And Holbens is top shelf in terms of service!

Just buy it!

What’s to say? This is my 3rd Tropic brand rubber strap. It’s old school with a retro taper, mine is 20mm-16mm. Smells good and has just enough flex to make it feel like butter on the wrist.

Excellent strap

After buying one Tropic strap in black I have returned to buy a few other colors as they are one of the most comfortable wearing rubber straps I've ever had. The Anthracite color is a dark gray but wouldn't quite call it "almost black" Will be back to purchase more strap from holbens.

Great Dive Watch Strap

One of my favorite watch straps. Looks great and is well made. A little longer than some of my other bands but still fits well. The polished and brushed buckle matches my watch. Very happy with it!

Great strap with classic styling.

These new Tropics are excellent. Very soft, nicely sized, with dual keepers. Can't ask for much more. I love how this looks on my Sinn and now I want more colors.

Perfect for Seiko diver!

I purchased the black Tropic strap to pair with my beloved 62 mas reimagined Seiko SBDC101. This strap is the perfect aftermarket option for any vintage-inspired skin diver but it looks especially at home on my Seiko. The thickness of the strap is ideal for this watch. I love the finer details of the strap, like how the cross-hatch pattern is visible on on the ends when you look down to check the time. I also love how the strap tapers to 16mm, unlike a lot of the other tropic-inspired straps that usually taper to 18mm. The design of the buckle allows it to sit flush on the underside of strap, which is another small but important detail, especially when spending a little extra $$. Overall, very pleased with the purchase.
