C60 Elite Rubber Strap Advice ?

Post by UfukCW »

Hello everyone,

I have recently purchased C60 Elite, I would like to use a rubber strap with it. CW Hybrid rubber is not for me. I would prefer something like breitling superocean or tissot seastar type with a push button clasp. ( There is no gap between the watch and strap ). Could you please recommned me if you tried something similar ?

Thank you.

There aren't any out there that will take the bracelet clasp. There is a company that is in the process of making fitted rubber straps for the C60 but they are buckle and tang. They are sanctioned by CW and I believe got some help with tolerances etc. I don't know if they are planning on making a clasp version. The first version is due this fall I think.

If it’s 20mm get on the Tribus site now. They’re selling their superb rubber straps for £30 which is madness.

^^^^ I'm tempted to get a strap or two but the measurements of 80mm to the end of the buckle (which makes it about 70mm to the end of the strap) + 125mm is too short.

If the strap, not including the buckle, is 80mm / 125mm that will be fine.

Is someone able to measure their strap?

Thanks in advance.

The Elite is 22mm and the OP is interested in fitted end straps which currently don't exist. I tried the Vanguard straps from Watch Gecko on my C60 but they are just off. I had to bend a spring bar to get it to seat correctly. It works okay but not perfectly ideal.

Thank you very much. It looks very good in my opinion. Price is a bit high, what do you think about quality ?

I showed photos on another thread. (Possibly the Tribus thread itself). The Tribus website graphic is wrong. The straps are 125mm/80mm plus the clasp. No sweat. My wrist is 7.5inches and there's a lot of spare strap.

Ah, Dave; thank you.

I posted on this thread initially by mistake and then, once I'd realised, reposted in the Tribus thread, intending to delete this post but didn't get around to it. :oops: :oops:

In the meantime, thanks to your clarification on the Tribus thread, I purchased two of the Black straps, one each of the steel and gun buckles. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I just fitted a folding clasp and put one of those on my speedy, and it's on the middle hole of 9.

It's fine. Priced about right I think. But like I said, not an exact fit. It takes some wrangling to get it on. Once it is on it doesn't sit exactly right for me. If you had a wrist smaller than my 7.5 it might sit better.

Thanks I understand. I think I will wait for Triton straps
