An exact replica NASA short watchband as used on Apollo, Skylab, and early Shuttle missions while inside the spacecraft and during training (the longer version being used on the outside of the spacesuits while on Lunar and "spacewalk" EVA).
Gray/green "foliage" mil-spec grosgrain tape replicates some of the watchbands seen throughout Gemini and Apollo. Most recently, Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott's Bulova watch sold with an original long "-202" watchband and foliage gray grosgrain tape.
- Fits 20mm and 19mm watch lug width (actual width is 3/4" mil-spec hook/loop material, with 1/16" allowable tolerance, as specified by NASA. Sometimes these are closer to 19mm and have a slight gap at the lug for Speedmasters or Bulova watches, which is correct for the original issued straps during Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle era).
- 11.5" long - fits 6" to 8.5" wrists
- Made with modern Mil-Spec Velcro Brand fastener of the same type issued by NASA
- Exact reproduction stainless rectangular ring
- Foliage gray/green military spec grosgrain tape
- Authentic P/N and SN markings
This is an excellent, daily-wear version of the NASA‐issued short watchstrap and will hold up to any mission, big or small.

Customer Reviews
Nice strap. Its comfy and very well sown. Mine has very faint numbers but that gives a more used look.
Be aware that the springs are not provided and you have to look for them elsewhere. I’ve used quick release springs from amazon and have worked out great so far.
I’ve tried both ways to set the strap and my favorite is looping the ringed end at the 12 o’clock side and then passing the other end down-up through the 6 o’clock side. This way feels and looks better IMHO, you have the metal back plate directly on your skin and is easier to put it on or take it off.
This strap is now my daily option to go.
Nice add to the Bulova watch.
I was on the fence for a while on this Velcro strap, thinking it would be a lot like the others on Amazon. I was wrong. This strap is so thin my Seiko SSC947, the modern Pogue, feels invisible. Very pleased!

Nice add to the authenticity of my historical watch!
Pleased with the strap. It is exactly what I expected it to be and its nicely made, definitely adds authenticity to the lunar pilot amd makes you appreciate it's history even more. The shipping price is a little high and took a while to arrive
