Strapcode Super Engineer Rubber Strap

Yes, the Strapcode Super Engineer is specifically designed to fit the 22mm lug width of the Seiko SKX007 and SKX009 dive watches. It utilizes a straight-end design that sits flush against the watch case without leaving an unsightly gap. This makes it one of the most popular aftermarket upgrades for classic Seiko modders.

The strap is constructed from high-quality vulcanized rubber, not cheap silicone, which prevents the annoying lint attraction common with cheaper bands. Vulcanized rubber is far more durable, flexible, and resistant to cracking over years of heavy use. It also has a faint vanilla scent in some premium batches to mask the natural rubber smell.

The Strapcode Super Engineer Rubber Strap typically comes with a sturdy, heavy-duty stainless steel tang buckle. However, many users upgrade the strap by fitting it with a custom Strapcode or WatchGecko deployment clasp. A deployment clasp keeps the rubber strap from being poked full of holes, extending the life of the band.

The Super Engineer strap is notably thick and robust, measuring approximately 4.5mm to 5.5mm in thickness near the lugs to handle heavy dive watches. This substantial thickness makes it incredibly rigid at first, meaning it takes a few days of wrist time to break in and soften up. The thick construction ensures it will not snap under water pressure or heavy exertion.
