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
Lovely and faithful replica of the Apollo 15 short watch strap.Currently on my Bulova Lunar Pilot . It's a steal at the price and I thoroughly recommend it
Stamp washed off first day, which was my fault for using cologne on my wrists. Its a really cool looking band aside from my mistake!
I finally pulled the trigger on buying this band, and my only regret is that I didn't buy months ago! Super comfortable and stylish, a perfect companion to my Pagani PD1701 Moonwatch. Highest recommendation!
High quality reproduction of the original. Fast shipping.
The band looks and works great. It does have a couple of poky places where the corners of the Velcro are a little scratchy, but I think that will soften up with time. And I wish it were a smidge longer (big wrists) so that it didn’t have to bend around to fasten in the middle of the part number. However, these are not complaints. The band is just as advertised and it’s super cool!
