By popular demand this beautifully crafted nylon watch strap features a dark blue base with vintage red and olive green stripes, just like the original.
As with all our straps, we're sure you will notice that your strap is very well made, for durability, strength and long service life. The attention to detail extends to the carefully sewn-in green and gold label. As you would expect, the Vintage Bond is available in a choice of widths to suit popular watch lug sizes.
This style of watch strap was originally developed in the 70s by the British Ministry of Defence (MOD). The strap was often called "G10" because of the requisition form that service personnel used to get their strap from Quartermaster's Stores.

Today, these straps remain stylish, quick and easy to change, and give added security to your watch in the event of 'popping a springbar' during vigorous activity. Because our straps are so reasonably priced and easy to change, you can have a selection of different styles to suit your mood and day's activities – including, of course, a Vintage Bond.
We also have a selection of different buckle finishes for this product; polished silver, satin silver, satin black (PVD IP plated) and antique bronze effect (PVD IP plated).
This strap is inspired by watch straps worn in the James Bond movies, see our complete range of Classic and Vintage Bond watch straps.
