This is a new old stock (unused) NATO strap delivered to the British Army in the early 1970s. It was a surplus item from the British Ministry of Defense and is extremely valuable. It was made before Phoenix was contracted to manufacture it, so the manufacturer is unknown. It has stitching, which is not specified in the specifications (DefStan) issued by the British Ministry of Defence, but this is a special detail found on items from the early 1970s.
DefStan has been issued several times since 1968, with the 20mm finally appearing in "DefStan 66-47" issued in 2001. Therefore, Omega Seamaster 300s issued to the British military in the late 1960s and Rolex Submariners of the 1970s may have used 18mm.
The NATO G10 straps manufactured up until now have different nylon weaves and colors depending on the era. The early 70s model has a coarse weave and Admiralty gray color that matches the vintage watch very well, and honestly, makes the watch look very cool. metal fittings are made of chrome-plated steel, and although there is some rust, it doesn't look unpleasant at all, and actually gives off a nice vibe.
We have received a large quantity this time, but numbers are limited, so if you are interested, please order early.
