The 1973 British Military Watch Strap: 328 MARINE sets a new standard for military-style straps and is aimed to be the perfect pairing for dive watches in their natural habitat. The 1973 classic British design requires no introduction, but this strap offers a twist on the classic as it is made from rubber. Made in cooperation with the renowned strap maker Bonetto Cinturini, this is the ultimate military diver's strap.
Bonetto Cinturini has been making high-end rubber straps for over 40 years and are industry experts. The rubber used in manufacture is highly resistant to chemicals and heat or cold. The strap is 260mm of which is a shorter-than-normal length for ease of fastening. The middle keeper is on a hinge to allow it to pivot slightly giving a better grip and solid feel on the rubber.
This is truly a military watch strap designed without compromise and is guaranteed to enhance any watch. The military design gives added reassurance due to the way it attaches separately to your watch's spring bars.
