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
Very cool addition to my Bulova Lunar Pilot. Fit is comfortable for a nylon strap, cool retro look.
Very thin
Great strap - and far more inexpensive than the OEM Omega version. I like that there's a short and extra short version (I think I'll go with the extra short version next so I can have more of the black velcro fuzz showing.) I gave it 4 stars though because they need to allow for a longer portion of the "scratchy" velcro portion so it'll adhere to more of the fuzz portion. Otherwise fantastic strap for the money. I've purchased two and I'll be buying another - especially if they lengthen the "scratchy" part of the velcro.
What a great strap. It’s true classic for the Speedmaster Pro.
The NASA Velcro strap wears perfectly with my Bulova Lunar Pilot 96K111. I prefer this to the steel bracelet or leather strap that came with the watch. I may even buy another one to go with my “Speedmaster”.
