"**Please note**" This band reproduces the wristwatch strap worn over space suits by Apollo astronauts in the 1970s during the Apollo program, and has been modified and designed for Apple Watch.
This band is aimed at vintage enthusiasts who find value in wearing a band with the same design as the Apollo astronauts of that era.
Because the priority is to reproduce (recreate) the design of that time rather than comfort or functionality, the fluffy part of the fastener is intentionally visible from the front side.
And since the thin tape from that time is deliberately reproduced as is, the tape appears thin.
This also has the advantage of being lighter.
Please purchase with understanding and acceptance.
NASA developed a hook-and-loop type wristwatch strap for astronauts to wear over space suits during the Apollo program.
In reality, it was a band that was much longer and worn over the space suit.
Enjoy wearing it while imagining the romance and history behind it.
For those not interested in military or vintage fashion, or who are not originally familiar with this belt, it may be difficult to understand the historical context and the meaning of the design, making it harder to find value in this band.
In that case, we sincerely ask you to refrain from purchasing.
Compatible wrist size: approximately 13cm to 18cm (the average wrist circumference of Japanese men is about 17cm). Please be sure to measure your wrist before purchasing.
Compatible with Apple Watch 38mm/40mm/41mm/42mm (Series 11).
It is compatible with all previous series, including the latest Series 11 and SE3.
If you have the 42mm Series 11, please select this "38mm/40mm/41mm/42mm".
If you have the 42mm Series 3, please select "44mm/45mm/46mm/49mm".
We adopted a skin-friendly Japanese-made hook-and-loop fastener because the band is directly attached to the arm over a bulky space suit, so we paid particular attention to the fastener choice from the perspective of comfort.
We sourced various types of fasteners from both domestic and international suppliers, created multiple samples, and repeatedly tested and verified their attachment and wearability through actual use.
Finally, we found a "skin-friendly hook-and-loop fastener" produced by a small factory in the Japanese countryside, and this is how the band was completed.
(We do not guarantee a comfortable fit for everyone) "For those with sensitive skin.
If you are not satisfied with the fit" The fastener has a special structure where the edges of the hook-and-loop fastener come into direct contact with the arm.
"How to attach the connecting metal fittings" Gently press and slide the fitting onto the Apple Watch body; it will snap into place more easily.
Please try it.
"Easy-to-attach corner ring fittings" We prepared many types of corner rings (fittings) of various thicknesses and widths, and verified their ease of attachment and handling.
From a design perspective, we found a width that is stylish and easy to attach.
To pursue a vintage texture, the fittings are nickel-plated and then manually treated with a dull matte burnishing coating to create a vintage matte, faded look that matches the Apple Watch body.
