FKM rubber watch strap 22mm grey Tropic type

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.

FKM rubber, a premium elastomer

This model uses FKM rubber, a next-generation elastomer for seawater. UV-stable, it does not fade, withstands heat and cold, blends suppleness and toughness. Silicone-free, it stays dust-free.

A collector's standard, like the NATO

Back in fashion with the neo-retro wave, the Tropic remains an enthusiast's signature. It equipped coveted pieces: Tissot Seastar, LIP Nautic-Ski or Yema Yachtingraf. Our model faithfully restores its basket pattern, notched border and embossed back.

The grey in the Tropic range

Grey brings a muted neutrality, discreet on steel or an anthracite dial.
