··Not in LA anymore.This has become my go-to watch for vigorous outdoor activity, but returning home with a sweat-soaked leather strap was often the by-product of said activity. Not to worry, Hirsch Performance to the rescue!

·Can't seem to get a good picture of this one.
Nice; let me have it for couple of weeks and I promise to capture better wrist shots of it! 😀

·I was browsing on the Hirsch website at those straps for my new Seamaster 300 M GMT, to replace the bling-ey bracelet.
I prefer leather straps, but this is a watch that I bought for travel and I definitely want to be able to get wet.
It sounds like you recommend these straps @Jones in LA ? Comfortable and functional?

It's a surprisingly comfortable strap considering the complexity of its construction. I had the watch on a flat leather band before, and another surprise is how much presence the Hirsch band adds to a 36mm watch. The Hirsch promo literature describes the band as "sauna-proof" but I probably would not jump in a pool or the ocean with it.

Thanks @alam 😀
This Explorer is a Ref 14270 with a serial number that dates it to about 1993. Keep in mind that this is a 36mm watch, but that works OK for me as I'm narrow-wristed. After wearing this watch for a couple of days, going back to a 42mm watch feels kind of weird because it looks absurdly large.

I'm very familiar with that feeling too! 🙁
