When the Ministry of Defence in the United Kingdom picked a color for its ISSUE band, but not just any color and not just Grey - but a rich grey with a tinge of green in it to make it blend and also give it a look that did not look cheap or declasse. Rather it has a really elegant color on a rock-solid tough band here. Here it is in the the Zulu band - The ZULU band is here in the US in TWO sizes for watercooler people and divers and others: the 22 mm amd also the 20 mm. It is not just another pretty face. This band is meant for REAL business. This is the TACTICAL version with 4 rings all blackened permanently for non-reflective needs in the field. This is a band for ALL divers, The weave of this Band is tight but not scratchy or irritating to skin..................... This is made from a ballistic form of nylon, much heavier ( and yes thicker) than Nato G10 bands. The holes are ultrasonically welded so NO fraying there or at the ends or the sides. .......... OK why ZULU ????? Why not Waterb*rne? ZULU has matte no glare NON-MAGNETIC stainless hardware throughout and Not galvanized, the strap is strong but, comfortable. We have had people test it for daily use And did not want to go back to a bracelet or leather Great for SAR people, Law Enforcement, FD, Military and anyone who has to get their band wet In adverse conditions often. .........This is not a band for a Patek this is not a dress band. it is a rugged No nonsense work horse that will serve you well. But, yes Virginia you wanted a band that would pass through the spring bars on a Submariner - WE listened and here it is. If you have further questions please email.
