I recently purchased a Zealande
I recently purchased a Zealande rubber strap for my Tudor Submariner reference 79190, and I couldn’t be more impressed.
Although this model was originally designed for the 79090, it fits the 79190 absolutely perfectly — the end links sit flush, the curvature matches the case beautifully, and the installation was seamless. It feels as if it was truly made for this watch.
The quality of the rubber is exceptional: soft yet durable, comfortable for all-day wear, and noticeably premium to the touch. The watch feels lighter on the wrist while still maintaining its classic diver character, and the overall wearing experience has improved more than I expected.
What moved me the most was the handwritten card included by the CEO. It was a small gesture, but it reflected genuine appreciation and pride in their product — something you don’t see often these days. It made the purchase feel personal rather than transactional, and I truly value that.
To anyone considering a strap upgrade for a Tudor Submariner, I can confidently recommend Zealande. The craftsmanship, attention to detail, and customer care are on another level. I’ll definitely be returning for more straps in the future.
