FS: Simple black 1960/70s vintage goatskin band w/ Heuer buckle

We’ve all seen the pictures of that simple, flat black band alternative listed in the original catalog and magazine ads for vintage Heuer chronographs. Here’s a 22mm black vintage band in high-quality goatskin, tapered just right so it takes a 16mm Heuer buckle. Has the single thick vintage strap hold-down keeper.



Band is New Old Stock 1960s/70s. Flat, unpadded type. Thickness is 2.7mm where the band meets the watch and 1.6mm at the tail end. Made by Speidel USA. Has a very light goatskin pattern to it. Band measures 7 3/8 inches (18.8cm) placed end to end, without the buckle counted in. Metric measurement of the two pieces is 75/113mm.


Good vintage exotic skin bands in 22mm are really difficult to find, especially ones with the right tapered 22/16 shape for Heuers, Breitlings and Omegas tapering to 16mm buckle ends. This band would be a nice change of pace for your Heuer Monaco, Heuer Silverstone or Heuer Calculator to accentuate the large watch head with a simple, flat band. Or pick one up without a Heuer buckle for one of your other large chronos.

This band is also available in a more highly textured version. Email for photos.

BAND & HEUER REISSUE BUCKLE: $195 including U.S. shipping with tracking or $225 for international shipment with tracking via Registered.

BAND ALONE: If you want the band without a buckle, the price is $95 including U.S. shipping & tracking, or $105 shipped internationally via First Class.

PAYMENT: Paypal payment to billmahoney@aol.com or money order/check by mail.

I have many vintage Heuer-related items for sale at Squinky.com so have a look at the Heuer, Leather Racing Straps and Tropic Rubber Straps sections.
