Inspired by the golden age of diving watches in the 1960s, the Vintage Style Perforated Rubber Watch Strap seamlessly blends functionality and sophistication. The design pays homage to tropic straps from a bygone era with a generous tapered tail, classic style keepers, and a period-accurate textured pattern. Yet, it is in every way a thoroughly modern strap, crafted from high-quality rubber and featuring quick-release spring bars.
These straps look just like the original tropic straps that were sold with dive watches back in the 1960s. The smaller perforated vents are carefully designed to allow airflow through to your skin, water to drain and for significantly greater user comfort in hot climates. If you want to take your Omega Seamaster back to the 1960s dive culture, and the lifestyle it fostered, the WatchGecko Vintage Tropical Strap is the strap to do it.
If you need to remove the quick-release spring bars then you can learn how to easily remove quick-release spring bars in our video.

- Made from specialist rubber - highly resistant to all external elements and temperatures.
