I purchased this strap to try out on my CWC RN Reissue Silver. Although it takes some getting used to, this strap allows the watch to maintain a lower profile due to its single pass design. Very comfortable and zero slippage! The only year option available for this strap was 1982, but, hey, isn’t 1982 the year that the Falklands War occurred? How apropos is that, and what a great way to honor those 255 souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for those islands and their fellow citizens.
This strap also forced me to get a CWC Black Auto Mk2 so I could match the blackened hardware on this strap with the PVD case! A perfect pairing!
I wouldn’t mind swapping out one of the retention loops with a flag watch strap loop, but I’d prefer a subdued (black and gray) U.S. flag rather than the full-color version, so CWC, if you folks are reading this, please make this happen!
