1. A band for a timepiece comprising a plurality of inter-connected links, at least one said link including a first portion made at least principally of a metallic material and a second portion made at least principally of an injection moldable material and fixedly secured thereto and molded thereover by injection moulding, wherein said injection moldable material is a natural rubber material, a synthetic rubber material, a silicon compound or a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane, thermoplastic elastomer, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride, and wherein protrusions and/or recesses are provided at at least one end of said links allowing connection of said links with each other.2. A band according to claim 1, wherein said first portion is at least partially enveloped by said second portion.3. A band according claim 1, wherein said links are inter-connected by at least a pin.4. A band according to claim 1, wherein two of said adjacent links are connected at said protrusions and recesses.5. A band according to claim 1, wherein said links are provided with a plurality of apertures at said protrusions and recesses.6. A band according to claim 5, wherein said pin connects said links at said apertures.7. A band according to claim 1, wherein two said links which are adjacent to each other are pivotably movable relative to each other.8. A band according to claim 1, wherein said metallic material is stainless steel.9. A combination of a band according to claim 1 and a length adjuster for adjusting the length of said band, wherein said length adjuster comprises a first portion made at least principally of a metallic material and a second portion made at least principally of an injection moldable material.10. A combination according to claim 9, wherein said second portion of said length adjuster is fixedly secured to said first portion of said length adjuster by molded thereover.11. A combination according to claim 9, wherein said first and second portions of said length adjuster are connected together by snap-fitting.12. A combination according to claim 9, wherein said injection moldable material of said length adjuster is a synthetic rubber material, a natural rubber material, a silicon compound or a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride.13. A combination according to claim 9, wherein said metallic material is stainless steel.14. A combination of a band according to claim 1 and a case for a timepiece, wherein said case comprises a first portion made at least principally of a metallic material and a second portion made at least principally of an injection moldable material and fixedly secured thereto and molded thereover by injection moulding.15. A combination according to claim 14, wherein said injection moldable material of said case is a synthetic rubber material, a natural rubber material, a silicon compound or a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, thermoplastic elastomer, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polycarbonate and polyvinyl chloride.16. A combination according to claim 14, wherein said case is connectable to said band.17. A combination according to claim 14, wherein said metallic material of said case is stainless steel.18. A timepiece comprising a band as defined in claim 1.
