Tropic

Tropic is one of the most iconic watch strap designs — the 1960s openwork rubber strap originally designed for divers' watches. The openwork structure provides excellent ventilation and keeps the strap light against the skin. The Tropic strap is associated with vintage divers' watches like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Omega Seamaster, but fits all 20 and 22 mm watches with a standard clasp.

Choosing the right width

Measure the distance between the lugs of the watch, on the inside, in millimetres, and choose the same width on the strap. The straps come in 20 and 22 mm.

Frequently asked questions

Which width should a Tropic strap be?
Measure the distance between the lugs in millimetres and choose the same width. If no standard size fits, contact us and we will help you.

Can I swim with a rubber strap?
Rubber is a better choice than leather around water, but check your watch's own water resistance before you swim.

Can I change the strap myself?
Yes, in most cases. Use a spring bar tool if the watch has spring bars.
