Hi all !
I have happily worn my Speedy FOIS for the last year, but would have loved to find some Rubber option for it, in 19mm lug width.
I have seen the older thread on the strap options for the FOIS but didn't really find some good options on there.

I have found that one for the moment: https://www.esprit-nato.com/en/esse...lar_l/101-width_lug_buckle-20_mm_buckle_18_mm
And would be happy to hear any thoughts on this / Any alternative you know ?

Thanks all !

Hello,

This is a tricky size to source if you don't want to go to Etzy or AliExpress.
I could find a replacement leather for my CK2998 and my FOIS at Watch Band Center (Rios brand).
I could fitler one 19mm rubber there : https://www.watch-band-center.com/watchstrap-p31107h307s321-Watch-strap-Ebikon-1.html

I also could source a nice sailcloth for the FOIS at ArtemStraps. (But they don't do rubber)

Well-known and appreciated Uncle Seiko also has a few options for what you seek : https://www.uncleseiko.com/collections/standard-rubber-straps

Hope that helps

Uncle Seiko has some, as well as other places. I've found them in the past using google but I don't have them in front of me.

The Uncle Seiko Tropic Rubber strap in 19mm looks like a great option. Matches the vintage look of the FOIS. They only ecently added this, I think - I was looking for one several years ago and couldn’t find one. Might have to pull the trigger on one for my FOIS.

I have fit 20mm Hirsch Robby straps on my FOIS in the past - it’s a tight squeeze, but doable. But the 19mm looks like a better option.

I went sailcloth for my FOIS. I think rubebr is better for divers, but not sure how it would render on a FOIS

StrapsCo usually has a decent selection but 19mm is tough ... they have this one:

The 40mm Speedmaster Racing rubber strap fits the FOIS. You'll need to purchase the 18mm deployant clasp to go with it. The strap will have an integrated look to it.
