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.
