Very unique original vintage 1960s Swiss dive strap 18mm blue waterproof dive watch band. Holes throughout in a honeycomb pattern, very unusual. We’ve sold many of these here from our old stock. Made in Switzerland during the 1960s/70s by Golay & Guignard S.A. Geneva. With the flared shape. Helps offset a small lugs/large head watch because, while the lugs connection end is 18mm, the band flares out to 25mm just before the ends to help make a better transition. Other straight-sided bands just wind up looking too skinny for your chunky watch.

Band is made of nylon with a stainless steel buckle signed Acier on back. These are the "Playa" vintage dive watch band model by Golay. Standard length strap that measures 7 1/2 inches (19.2cm) placed end to end, not counting the buckle. Metric measurements are 115/75mm. Thickness is 4.5mm where the band meets the watch and 2.1mm at the tail end. Takes a 16mm opening buckle. This auction is for one 18mm blue band. Tropic band style strap popular with vintage dive watch models and Heuer vintage chronograph watch styles.

These Golay Playa bands come in black 20mm or in blue 18mm 20mm or 22mm. Go with a seller with more than 18,000 positive feedbacks. Buy with confidence from a seller on EBAY since 1998 and a member of the NAWCC watch collector's association since 1997.
