"**Please note**" This band reproduces the wristwatch strap worn over space suits by Apollo astronauts in the 1970s, modified and designed for Apple Watch.
It is a band aimed at vintage enthusiasts who find value in wearing a band with the same design as that of the Apollo astronauts of that era.
Since the primary focus is on reproducing (recreating) the design of that time rather than comfort or functionality, the design intentionally allows the fluffy part of the fastener to be partially visible from the front side.
Additionally, because it reproduces the thin tape from that period as is, the tape appears thin.
This also has the advantage of being lightweight.
Please purchase with understanding and acceptance.
NASA developed a hook-and-loop type wristwatch strap for astronauts to wear Omega's Speedmaster during the Apollo program.
In reality, it was a longer band that could be worn over the spacesuit.
Please 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, the historical context and design meaning may be difficult to understand, making it harder to find value in this band.
In such cases, we kindly ask that you refrain from purchasing.
Suitable 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 not only with the latest Series 11 but also with all previous series, including SE3.
For those with the 42mm Series 11, please choose "38mm/40mm/41mm/42mm".
For those with the 42mm Series 3, please choose "44mm/45mm/46mm/49mm".
"Adopts skin-friendly Japanese-made fasteners" Since the band is originally designed to be worn directly on the arm over bulky space suits, we paid particular attention to the choice of hook-and-loop fasteners from the perspective of comfort.
We sourced various types of fasteners from both domestic and overseas suppliers, created multiple samples, and repeatedly tested and verified by actually wearing them.
Finally, we found a "skin-friendly hook-and-loop fastener" made by a small factory in rural Japan, and this band was completed.
(We do not guarantee a comfortable fit for everyone.)
"For those with sensitive skin.
If you are not satisfied with the comfort of wearing" The fastener's edges (ends) are in direct contact with the arm due to its special structure.
"Tips for attaching the connecting hardware" Gently press and slide the Apple Watch side to click it into place more easily.
Please give it a try.
"Easy-to-wear corner ring hardware" We prepared various types of corner rings (hardware) of different thicknesses and widths, and tested their ease of attachment and handling.
From a design perspective, we found a width that is both stylish and easy to wear.
Furthermore, to pursue a vintage feel and match the Apple Watch body, the hardware is nickel-plated, then manually treated with a dull matte burnishing coating to give it a vintage, matte, tarnished appearance.
