18mm NOS 1970's Swiss Made Tropic SPORT watch strap with highly sought after PREMIUM INOX buckle


This Tropic Sport variant is supplied with a very sought after buckle - The square INOX style with swan neck pin.

Right now I think the cheapest listing for JUST THE BUCKLE on eBay is currently £20 plus shipping (I charge more than that myself for this buckle).  Here you get the BUCKLE AND THE BAND for the not so prohibitive asking price of just £35. Grab yourself a bargain.

Original Tropic stock number (on band) - 23318

18mm lug size

Made in Switzerland 

INOX buckle - As mentioned above this is a very sought after premium buckle which is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Often referred to as the square race/rally buckle. This is a rare piece and much nicer than the generic acier which is standard equipment on the majority of Tropics available on eBay.

Condition is as pictured (NEW). I cannot notice any defects myself but I would rather encourage the buyer to study the images I have posted and make up their own mind regarding the condition; although the strap is new it has been in storage for over 40 years and as a consequence probably need a wipe down/polish at the buckle end.  

Common sense dictates that the buckle may display slight storage marks/pitting/surface scratches after all those years in storage.

If you want this strap I urge you to purchase. It's not like fresh stock is coming off the production line to meet demand. Grab it whilst it's available.

I have posted 12 images all from different angles and all fully zoom'able. I have tried to be as honest as possible with the pictures and the description so please have a good read/look and feel free to ask as many questions as you desire prior to purchase. Use both the images and the description to make an informed decision. 

Beware the many many copies of these for sale on eBay right now. They are only TROPIC BANDS if it STATES TROPIC on the band otherwise they are likely made in China/Hong Kong (or even Canada) and distributed by a company called 'Stylecraft' .

Always look at the images closely for the correct markings when considering purchase.  Many eBayers call similar bands TROPIC even if they are not actually Swiss made TROPIC bands.

ALL OF THE TROPIC BANDS I CURRENTLY HAVE LISTED ARE SWISS MADE ORIGINAL GENUINE TROPIC BANDS

The important bit

No returns. I do not sell on approval. You have plenty of images to help you make a considered and informed decision prior to purchase. If you have zero feedback or negative feedback please drop me a message prior to purchase; no offence but some buyers revel in negative feedback and negotiating for a post sale reduction.

Feedback is important to me. If when you receive the item you feel it's not as described please do get in touch to discuss. I have been as honest as possible with this listing. You have the pictures and you have the option to ask as many questions you desire prior to purchase.

Thanks for taking the time to read this listing and please take a look at my other TROPIC items.
