    Morning all

    Having a good parts clear it and whilst I love these I am not going to be wearing them and as such would rather they went to a good home and I released the funds for something else.

    These bands came to the market in circa 1967/68 and were extensively used on chronostops (in 18mm). The bands used an innovative new deployment buckle system which mean the band could be 8 inch plus or as small as 5 inch and without and noticeable excess strap

    These two examples are new old stock and both 19mm (extremely rare as most were 18mm for the standard chronostop). They will fit all 19mm omegas but imho look amazing on speedies and early sm300's

    1: NOW SOLD

    The first example is shark skin, super cool and super supple and looks absolutely amazing on and ed white or 2998 as it is matt in appearance and not gloss

    2: NOW OHPF

    The second example is again 19mm and the famous rally band, this looks simply amazing on the watch and wears superbly

    Both are new, light surface marks on the deployant bucked

    I am looking for £225 each

    Payment via BT or PP gift (or you cover fees)

    Thanks Tom

    Tom, were those specifically designed for the Ed White Speedmaster or any certain Speedy?

    Don't know that they were specifically for the ed whites as much as any 19mm omega but as you know there were very few omegas of that era with 19mm lug fittings. Most were 18 or 20mm

    By 1967/1968 ed whites were being phased out for the larger lug size so I guess they could have been options towards the end of the production run to get the last few shifted (so to speak )

    Either way they look awesome and look great on the ed whites and make a real change to the standard bct or aftermarket modern leather options!
