The Olongapo bands were made popular by US troops stationed here in Subic Bay during the Vietnam war era. Subic bay was and is an area known for its expertise in jewelry making. During that time it was a hub for US Navy SEALS, Underwater Demolition Teams as well as Master Divers in the navy and Marines. These gentlemen would have these bands custom made with their unit logos, family crests and badges of honor earned during their tour and amazing lives. A long gone art is now once again available and manufactured here, in the Philippines by master artisan Jaffy Jurado. Own a piece of Military history and adorn your watch with a beautiful handmade band!
Remember these are hand made and come with very slight imperfections/scratches which only add to the charm. These are all new and never worn.
