Expertly crafted in Italy for more than forty years, vanilla-scented Bonetto Cinturini rubber dive watch straps have long been trusted by renowned watchmakers for their perfect combination of durability and comfort. Made from high-quality vulcanized nitrile butadiene (NBR) rubber, these waterproof, nontoxic and nonallergenic straps are engineered to withstand seawater and UV radiation from sunlight. In addition, thanks to the repellent properties of NBR rubber (unlike silicone), you can say goodbye to lint and dust! With hundreds (and hundreds) of positive reviews, Bonetto Cinturini straps are a great choice for any watch enthusiast.
With its slim profile and slanted end, Model 281 has a sleek, retro design inspired by 1960s dive watch straps. Round and ladder-style perforations provide a comfortable fit and allow air circulation.
