PHOENIX WATCH STRAP

Please note: These are ex-display straps that have been previously fitted to watches for display purposes, and have some creasing or storage marks on them. Generally good condition but not pristine. Brand new straps are not available from Phoenix anymore as they are no longer made. These are the last original UK-made Phoenix straps that we have left. Very tough and hard-wearing but will fray from use.

Made to government specification since 1978.
UK-made.
Phoenix logo etched on buckle.
Heat-welded as specified and purchased by MOD.
18mm suitable for quartz general service or 1970s mechanical general service.
20mm suitable for divers' watches and chronographs.
Approximate length of straps: 290mm (some stock may vary).

Mediocre quality

Expected the quality of this Phoenix strap to at least match the quality of a CWC BRITISH ISSUE MILITARY WATCH STRAP but it didn’t. Thin nylon seems like a good idea but it’s not durable at all. After few weeks of daily wear the holes became loose and big. Also the hardware( the loops) is too big for this thin nylon. A bit disappointing.

Does not stink

I have worn soft bands for 30 years but only recently found this band. I normally keep bands in rotation for cleaning because they start to stink after a week of sweating on them. This has simply been life with soft bands for me.
I have been wearing this band for a month and it does not smell bad. I do not know what the difference is but I am very happy to have found a band that works.
