StrapHabit x Analog:Shift Black Tropical Retro-Style FKM Rubber Quick-Release Strap

Black Tropical Retro-Style FKM Rubber Quick-Release Strap

Avid SCUBA practitioners and diving watch collectors are no doubt intimately familiar with the perforated rubber straps that were supplied as OEM equipment on - or sold as accessories for - many iconic skin divers from the mid-20th century Having disappeared from the market for decades, these vintage style straps are once again being produced by a variety of manufacturers. 

None, however, mixes faithfulness to the original design with consistent availability and an appealing price point quite like Strap Habit’s Tropical Retro-Style FKM Rubber Quick-Release Strap. Whether you’re an avid snorkeler, diver, or simply a frequent tropical vacationer, this is a strap type that belongs in your collection.

Made of genuine FKM rubber — not silicon — this wonderfully retro style combines pliability and comfort with the utility of a genuinely waterproof dive strap, which won’t crack or break apart like the original versions. Quick drying, ventilated, and properly handsome, each strap features a classic “waffle” textured pattern on the underside, and will easily fit a variety of wrists with 13 sizing holes for precise fitment.

Constructed as a two-piece strap with quick-release spring bars and dual floating keepers, these versatile sport straps also come fitted with a double-signed, retro-style stainless steel pin buckle exclusive to Analog:Shift. We've stocked them in four popular lug widths and in five vivid colorways perfect for a wide range of applications!

Watch lovers know that a single timepiece can – if properly accessorized – serve as a versatile and wide-ranging collection unto itself. With a supply of varied strap styles on hand for quick wardrobe changes, there is no such thing as a one-trick pony!

At Analog:Shift, we know that quality accessories are part and parcel of the watch-collecting hobby, and for over a decade we’ve offered a diverse assortment of leather, nylon, and rubber straps to complement your favorite watches – be they vintage, contemporary pre-owned, or brand new. Launched at the top of 2026, our latest collection offers a fresh edit of our past offerings, narrowing our selection to the most popular styles from each category, making it easier than ever before to select the optimal strap for your watch. 

Our handmade leather straps are produced in partnership with a multi-generational, family-owned Italian atelier in Italy that has been providing high quality OEM straps to your favorite watch brands in Europe for decades. Drawing design and naming inspiration from motorsports and automotive culture, they’re designed to take your timepiece from 0-60 in style!

Our fabric and rubber straps are offered in collaboration with our friends at StrapHabit, based in Columbus, OH. StrapHabit entered the scene in 2019, and has in short time become a respected supplier in the enthusiast space. We’re thrilled to launch our partnership with a curated selection of their top offerings; including hook-and-loop nylon webbing, seatbelt-quality pass-through nylon, rubber FKM, and sailcloth fabric straps, all of which brilliantly enhance the look and wearability of sporty tool watches of all ages.

Whether you’re breathing new life into an old watch — or simply switching up the look and feel of a new one — we’re certain that our collection of exceptionally made (and thoughtfully priced!) accessory straps will change the way you look at your collection.
