Nico @_jimjupiter explains why Alcantara® “Travertine” is a compelling alternative to a Tropic strap for the 1966 Enicar Sherpa Super Dive on hot days.

On these sweltering summer days, I need a strap that can handle the heat. Normally, I would wear my 1966 Enicar Sherpa Super Dive on a Tropic strap. But since yesterday, I have had an alternative.

Alcantara® “Travertine”: the Alternative to a Tropic Strap

At first glance, the strap looks like suede. In fact, it is Alcantara®—the material familiar from Italian cars of the 1970s and later from Mercedes models. This makes the strap water-resistant and easy to wipe clean. On hot days, that is a real advantage for me.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the Alcantara® strap in Travertine (20 mm). Not only because it is practical for everyday wear: the warm colour beautifully picks up the patina of the tritium.
