1973 British Military Watch Strap: CADET - Admiralty Grey, IP Black
Pay Securely
Are you ready to explore with our stylish, practical classic Military watch strap? Whether you wear it into the office, take it into the hills at the weekend, or make it your go-to travel strap on vacation, this design is perfect to complement your favourite field or military-inspired watch. From a Seiko 5 Sports SNZG09K1 to a Hamilton Khaki Field or vintage Rolex Submariner, this tough, versatile nylon watch strap continues the tradition started by the British Ministry of Defence with their seminal 1973 DefStan for military watch straps.
These watch straps have come a long way since the original Admiralty Grey 18mm 'G10' bands of decades ago. But one thing that hasn't changed is their ruggedness and versatility. And the added security you get from having your watch attached to the strap independently at two points. If you should 'pop' a spring bar, perhaps while swinging a rucksack onto your back, the second spring bar should keep your strap and watch connected.
In a great range of military colours - admiralty (gunmetal) grey, army green, desert sand (khaki) and standard black, that give it a combat-ready military feel, or appealing neutrality in other day-to-day contexts. Compare the cut and sealed edges of our 1 mm-thick quick-drying nylon fabric with cheap alternatives. Then look at the quality stitching, high-quality stainless steel hardware and affordable price.
If you are new to this style of watch strap, please see our fitting guide on how to fit and wear a military watch strap. And to read more about our different military watch strap collections, please read our blog article that covers the different types.
