The Z22 Strap-
Unlike cheaper plastic or resin straps, this strap is made from Polyurethane, which has better resistance to damage caused by salt water and UV radiation. Polyurethane straps therefore last longer and do not suffer from a tendency to attract dust particles like silicone rubber straps. They are firmer than silicone, but are much more durable.
FYI, many sellers claim their similar looking straps to be made of rubber, you may be using one now. A simple test for rubber is to use it as an eraser. Draw anything on a sheet of paper with a pencil, then try to erase it with your "rubber" watch band. I am 99% certain it will not erase. Besides, Seiko only ever made this strap from Polyurethane. So please be wary of listings that use the words "Genuine" and "Rubber" as it is seldom true.
The FAT spring bars-
Seiko uses 2.5mm thick spring bars, with 1.1mm tip ends, and made with a double shoulder (so they dont accidentally pop out) for their dive watches. Due to their size they were given the nickname "fat" bars.
These bars are OEM, and specific for watches that can accommodate 2.5mm thick bars, and have 1.1mm lug holes.
These will not fit into a standard watch that has 0.80mm lug holes.
