Tropic - Tropical strap - Milano Straps

Milano Straps Glossary

Tropic

In my artisanal experience, Tropic represents an icon in the world of rubber straps, originally developed in the 1960s for diving watches. I immediately recognize this style by its characteristic grid perforation, which ensures optimal ventilation and extreme comfort on the wrist. The Tropic design, which I have studied and reinterpreted in my creations, remains one of the most requested by collectors of vintage and modern watches.
