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 less likely to fray at the holes than other commerciall straps. It will perform longer under the most arduous conditions and keep its original look for much longer.

How to fit a military strap.

If you would like the military broad arrow and/or the NSN number stamped onto your strap, please click the add-on buttons above (grey, green, coyote or tan only - we cannot stamp on black straps). 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.

CWC British Issue Military Watch strap

Excellent quality as you would expect from CWC. I buy straps from CWC for many of my watches because I can be confident that the look and quality I want is always there.

An act of remembrance.

Yes. It's the real thing. Solid and efficient and way more comfy than my Omega bracelet. It takes me back to 2 Troop, 7 Fd Sqn, 21 Engineer Regt circa 1985 at Nienburg (Am Weser). It makes my Seamaster look better and I'm having to beat women away with a stick. Get one, you won't regret it.

A great refresh

I used the strap for my Seiko 5 and it's a great refresh from the previous metal band.
