Vintage Unused Watch Band - Stallex (Chrysler Sister Brand)

This is a brand-new, unused watch strap, stored carefully over the years. Designed to fit a 20mm lug width, the total length is approximately 15.3cm. Please add the vertical diameter of your watch case to this length to estimate your wrist size. Sold as-is with no claims or returns.

Stallex is a sister brand of Chrysler, incorporating American technology and materials, including gold-plated components sourced from the U.S. and produced in Hong Kong. Known for manufacturing bands for prestigious brands like Seiko, Bulova, Rado, and even some high-end Swiss brands such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, Stallex's quality ranged from low to high-tier products in the 1960s. The high-end models matched Japanese prices but offered slightly superior quality.

Historically, there were two types of Hong Kong-made straps: lower-quality versions, which were cheaper than Japanese counterparts, and premium versions, which were comparable in price but of higher quality. This competition influenced many domestic Japanese strap manufacturers before the 1960s.

The factory founder, Mr. Woon, succeeded in the watch band business at age 21 and became a prominent industrialist. I offer these straps at affordable prices, ideal for vintage watch collections. If your watch has scratches or signs of age, these vintage straps will complement its character perfectly. Many of my listings include such aged straps, so please browse.

Unlike modern new straps, vintage straps were made specifically for watches of their era, ensuring a better fit and authentic look. They reflect the craftsmanship and materials of their time, often inspired by catalogs and historical references. Wearing these straps connects you to the history of watchmaking and the evolution of Japanese and international brands.

I possess extensive catalogs and documents from that period, revealing how strap makers referenced designs and materials. Some straps mimic original OEM styles, while others are more experimental, reflecting the creative spirit
