bought this strap in green with a bronze buckle for my bronze abalone. The watch has just cleared Swedish customs so I should be able to try this properly next week . The strap has a really nice soft but firm feel to it the rubber is very pliable without feeling stretchy like cheaper silicone straps . The buckle in bronze is really quite beutifull as is the finish and quality of this strap . I tried the strap for size on a steel abalone I own and it has really nice wrist presence but my only complaint is it's WAYYY to short for a divers strap , I'm on the second last hole and would never be able to wear this over a wet suit and I have average size wrists. The standard Seiko stock divers straps on some of my other dive watches are 1.5 cm longer than this strap which is way more usable as a dive strap . So please San Martin offer this in a longer more realistic length like Bonetto in Italy and Seiko do. other than that it's a good strap
The rubber strap with a bronze buckle is definately an amazing complement to my bronze watch. And the gift NATO strap is perfect for my Vostok Amfibian Komandirskie. Thank you.
