CWC British Issue Military Watch Strap

Item code: 20049

The CWC issued strap to British forces (Military grey only) is currently supplied with the CWC SBS in 20mm and 18mm for G10 / GS watches. 

The CWC "Strap, Wrist Watch, Nylon" (the original MOD title for the strap) is the most durable genuine military-issued strap, which is why thousands of grey straps are purchased by the MOD every year.

The CWC strap will keep its shape and will not fray at the holes like other commercial military straps. It will perform longer under the most arduous conditions and keep its original look for much longer.

How to fit a military strap.

For stamping on multiple straps, please change the stamp quantity in your basket and leave a message indicating which straps you want stamped.

Excellent quality strap!

I've always worn Phoenix straps in the past but the quality of them started to decline in the last few years and then they became virtually unobtainable when the company closed down, so I decided to try CWC. I'm glad I did as the quality is far superior, slightly thicker and not a fine a weave perhaps but very substantial with no hole fraying. CWC straps are also a little longer at 285mm which means I can get the classic "tuck back" on the strap.
I bought an 18mm green with polished hardware and the green is more of an olive drab with a slight sheen which I really like, the steel buckle and loops are of excellent quality with a nice polished finish.
Despatch was made within 45 mins of ordering and I received the strap 48hrs later.
Just perfect!

Second thoughts...

Last year I wrote a review, where I only gave this strap 3 stars. I wrote, that this is a really good NATO strap, but the spacing between the pinholes is too big and that I couldn't get a good fit. I wrote that I liked it, but probably wouldn't wear it.
Since then, I have been wearing it almost every single day. It deserves 5 stars and my warmest recommendations.

Bought for a birthday present

Bought two watch straps that were sent direct to my brother for a birthday gift.
He reports that he is very pleased with them and he likes CWC's watches too. No problems with delivery

Great quality. Would recommend more colours other than just the usual military.
