Royal Marines Falklands Era Strap, Green
£29.99
Item code: 73035
Genuine new old stock vintage RM Falkland era straps, these were part of Royal Marines kit issued with their bergen rucksack as a utility strap for many different uses.
Makers' name and patent stamped underside of buckle. Either dated 81, 82 or 83 (select an option). Please note the '83 strap will be a light olive colour as the original green strap is too thick to adjust easily.
Being 19/20mm with a quick-adjust very secure buckle, they make the perfect military watch strap. They are micro adjustable and the buckle will not slip. They are so tough and durable they are unlikely to wear out and the larger Aerolex buckles were used on SAS rucksacks and heavy lifting equipment harnesses.
(WATCH NOT INCLUDED)
19-20mm will fit General Service and divers' watches. Quick pull adjustment ensures exact fit and is easy to get on and off. Extra long 350mm length, which will fit over divers' dry suits or combat gear where the standard watch strap is too short to do this.
The buckle stays threaded for ease of use, just slide it on and off. Just pull, giving resistance against the body, to tighten. One loop keeper fitted to retain excess strap.
Made in the UK when British kit was overconstructed.
Please note, if you would like the Broad Arrow stamp on your strap, please select the add-on option above. Default is without stamp. For stamping on multiple straps, please change the stamp quantity in your basket and leave a message indicating which straps you want stamped. For any other special instructions, please leave a message with your order.

I have several CWC straps to go with my CWC ‘87 SBS black diver re-issue which are all great however, this Falklands era green strap is the perfect partner for this watch. It’s got a great military look and feel to it and the buckle fitting looks fantastic - not shiny, and suitably vintage, rugged and understated. I paid a tiny amount extra for the ‘broad arrow’ stamp, which is simply the icing on the cake. The strap itself is very well made and robust without detracting from its tool-like appearance. In short, this is a must-have ‘tool’ strap for my ‘tool’ watch, which hasn’t been off my wrist since I took delivery. Perfection.
I’m reluctant to leave a review, I don’t want others to know how good this strap is… I want to fit this strap to all my field watches. Currently the strap is on my 1982 Fatboy, looks great, easy to use, gets a perfect fit every time, even has that army surplus store smell (if that’s your thing)
It took me some time to figure out how to put it on 😊 But after figuring that out, it has turned out to be one of my most comfortable straps.
Only one small complaint: the arrow stamp is placed directly under the watch and therefore nobody can see it.
secure and affordable that will stay attached to your wrist. The buckle is slightly chunky but sliding one of the keepers overtop the buckle helps keep its streamlined. great strap
By far the best strap that I've ever bought. Great materials and it is really comfortable.
Can't recommend it enough
