The LIV orange rubber strap is new and can easily be switched out with the original black rubber strap. The straps themselves are worth the extra money. The LIV GX1 Sky Blue Genesis Swiss Made Men's Chronograph features a multi-layer black dial, a Swiss caliber 5040.D movement, a 1/10 of a second Swiss chronograph, a 316L stainless steel black IP case, a scratch resistant & anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown and water-resistant to 200 meters.
