ABSTRACT:
A strap attachment for a wristwatch has first and second ends adapted to encircle the wrist of a wearer having a first strap end with a wide strap section and a connecting narrow strap section, and a number of adjustment holes along the wide strap section, and a second strap end terminating in an integral buckle frame with a rectangular frame opening and having a short inclined tang for cooperating with a selected adjustment hole, the strap section with the buckle end having a transverse slot spaced from the buckle frame for receiving the narrow strap section. The buckle frame includes a hard high strength plastic insert overmolded by soft flexible plastic strap material. In a modification, the strap attachment to the watch case comprises an integral central strap section in which an overmolded soft plastic material partially encases a rigid plastic watch case, the latter then being assembled with the movement and sealed from the front side. The strap material may be of PVC or polyurethane and the rigid plastic of polycarbonate with fiberglass filler or ABS.
