Collection: Sale Items

Every item in the Sale Items collection is a genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) product — the same straps, buckles, and clasps made by or for the original watch brands. The sale pricing reflects inventory clearance and promotions, not a compromise in quality or authenticity. As one customer put it: "No Chinese knock-off items with Gift of Time. Highest quality OEM products for the finest watches in the world."

Gift of Time sources OEM straps and hardware in bulk directly from manufacturers. Sale items are discounted to move inventory efficiently — particularly on colorways, sizes, or styles that are overstocked. You're getting the same authentic product at a reduced price, not a substitute.

Yes and No. The Panerai Caoutchouc Logo rubber straps in the sale collection are designed specifically for Tang Buckles OR Deployant Claps. Make sure to read the product description as we carry Rubber Panerai Caoutchouc Straps in BOTH Tang Buckle and Deployant Clasp variants– Tang Straps will not work with a deployant clasp. If you use a deployant, you'll need to look for a strap explicitly listed as "for Deployant Buckle." The product listing will always specify buckle compatibility.

The 24MM Panerai Caoutchouc rubber straps fit all 44MM Panerai case watches. They will not fit 40MM, 42MM, 46MM, or 47MM Panerai cases. Always verify your case diameter before ordering, and check the listing's compatibility notes for your specific reference.

Caoutchouc (pronounced koo-CHOO) is the French term for natural rubber. Panerai uses this term for their straps made from high-grade natural rubber compound, as opposed to synthetic rubber. These straps are known for their durability, soft texture, and comfortable wear — and feature the Officine Panerai inscription on the strap face.

A deployant (or deployment) clasp is a folding stainless steel mechanism that opens and closes with a push-button release. Compared to a traditional tang buckle (pin-and-hole style), a deployant clasp is more secure on the wrist, reduces wear and tear on the strap, and is easier to put on one-handed. Breitling deployant clasps in the sale collection are OEM pieces that fit specific strap widths — the listing will state the compatible strap width (e.g., 20MM) and watch models.

The strap width is listed in the product title — for example, "22MM" refers to the lug width where the strap attaches to the watch case. To verify your size, measure the gap between the lugs on your watch with a ruler or caliper. Breitling models like the Superocean, Chronomat, Avenger, and Endurance commonly use 20MM, 22MM, or 24MM straps. The listing will also note compatible models.

The Diver Pro III rubber straps in the sale collection are listed "for Deployment Clasp" — meaning they are strap-only and do not include a buckle. You will need a compatible Breitling deployant clasp, which is sold separately in the same collection. If you want a strap that includes an OEM tang buckle, look for listings that specifically state "w/ OEM Tang Buckle" in the title.

The compatibility notes in each listing (watch models, case sizes, lug widths) are the safest guide. If your specific reference isn't mentioned but the lug width matches, the strap will physically fit — however, Gift of Time recommends confirming compatibility before ordering. You can contact the store directly with your watch model and reference number for guidance.

Yes. The store's 30-day return policy applies to sale items as well, provided the strap is unused, unworn, in its original packaging, and accompanied by proof of purchase. Contact the store first to initiate the return (via Text Message or Direct Message) — items sent back without prior approval will not be accepted. A pre-paid return label will be emailed to the buyer and once the return is inspected and approved, a refund is issued to your original payment method within 10 business days.
