HISTORY OF THE TROPIC strap
The birth of the Tropic strap is obviously linked to the development of diving watches. A waterproof case, waterproof strap , and we are not all fans of steel bracelets, heavier and not always very pleasant. A company got down to the task and created at the very beginning of the 60s this legendary design with the very particular patterns of the 4 crossed strands.
A vulcanized natural rubber diving strap , let me explain: if natural rubber is not mixed with sulfur before being heated, it becomes brittle by cold, sticky and foul-smelling hot weather, ptherefore ideal.
“Vulcanized” rubber, on the other hand, provides endurance against cracking, stretching, attracting dust and is UV and seawater resistant. An ideal hydrophobic strap for diving which very quickly equips the first legendary great divers of the time. Rolex Submariner, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris, to the other LIP Nautic Ski.Many of you will certainly be wondering about the price that these vintage Tropics can reach, here is the answer: for questions of cost, and flexibility.
DESCRIPTION
The strap measures 20 mm between the lugs of the watch and 18 mm at the level of the buckle. The part of the strap on the "holes" side is 12.3 cm long in total and the other part is 8.4 cm without the buckle.
Designed for all types of wrists and easily adjusted thanks to the holes in the strap and its buckle. You can adapt a folding buckle to it, I offer 3 colors (yellow gold, rose gold and shiny polished silver steel), do not hesitate to let me know your questions by sending a message to ocoeurdutemps at orange.fr, I remains at your disposal.
I took several photos with different luminosity, different backgrounds, so that you have an idea of the tint and shades depending on the light. It is indeed the same strap in all the photos.
