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
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!
Basic and durable like the way the things used to be! It went directly into my wrist having two options …my speedy or my Bulova Lunar pilot .
I recently added a MoonSwatch EarthPhase to my collection. The strap it came with was ok. I purchased another strap at WindUp in San Francisco and it was ok but eventually went back to the original strap. On a whim, I bought the Luna Replica and it is great! What a wow factor!!! I am thinking about getting another one for my Bulova Lunar Pilot. Great looking strap and very comfortable to wear. Thanks, Tim
A great addition to my speedmasters
