Watch strap in 20mm red premium FKM rubber, microperforated Tropic type. Waterproof and hypoallergenic, this diving strap reproduces the basket-weave pattern of the original Tropic. Red asserts a sporting temperament, a nod to regatta counters. Quick-release spring bars, satin stainless steel buckle.
Divers originally sought an alternative to the metal bracelet, uncomfortable underwater and hard to adjust over a wetsuit. Tropic rubber, born in the 1960s, brought suppleness, water resistance and instant fit.
No ordinary rubber here: FKM is a premium elastomer built to last. Stable against UV and chemicals, hypoallergenic and clean to wear, it does not hold dust and stays pleasant year-round.
A collector's cult like the NATO, the Tropic returns with reissues. It appeared on prized pieces: Yema Yachtingraf, Aquastar Regate or Lemania Regatta Yachting. We restore its details — basket weave, notched edge, period embossed back.
