The all-black strap creates a striking contrast against the white dial transforming the entire feel of the watch into something instantly more purposeful.
On the underside you will find a discreet engraved tribute — a nod to the mission history this watch represents. This strap is available in multiple colour variations but for collectors the black edition remains the most faithful to the spirit of 1965.
The Flight Qualified Strap Bundle
The perfect Speedmaster style match for everyday use. Durable and military inspired with that unmistakable heritage feel. This bundle includes two interchangeable straps designed specifically for the 1965 MoonSwatch. One offers a rugged woven texture that mirrors the original NASA-tested equipment while the second provides a sleeker look for everyday wear. Both options can be swapped effortlessly with the included curved spring bars giving you flexibility without compromising on style.

The curvature of the strap hugs the case and wrist for a seamless look while the robust rubber keeps it practical in all conditions. A great option for collectors who wear their watch daily and want something understated with a technical edge. Colour matched to the case in grey with a white stitch the match the dial
