The ISOfrane watch straps were so revolutionary that they quickly became the standard. When the manufacturers of some of the world’s most iconic dive watches were looking for a dive watch strap, they turned to ISOfrane.

Hypoallergenic, with a superior fit and feel – and 100% Silicone free! The modern ISOfrane dive watch bands have been designed to replicate the original ISOfrane straps. They bear the same attention to detail as the original with the ventilation straps and straight end lug attachments. The ISOfrane watch band is the perfect addition to any dive watch – vintage or modern.
Description
The ISOfrane watch strap was born in the 1960s from the necessity for a strong and durable water proof watch strap that was also comfortable to wear. Before the ISOfrane, dive watch bands were manufactured using materials that were not always the most forgiving to the wearer.
In the early sixties ISOfrane developed a new compound– Isoprene-, a colorless, liquid hydrocarbon that is obtained in the processing of petroleum and/or coal tar and is used as a raw chemical material. Isoprene was far more durable that the rubber straps of the day. In addition, the watch bands were designed to breath with the addition of ventilation straps.
