PATTERN/ PAIRING:
Features a deep vintage brown base with matching stitching.
The Bakelite-F Canvas strap pairs excellently with Field and Pilot pieces as well as well as monotone dials and designs with vintage style warm toned lume.
LAYOUT:
A one-piece strap layout outfitted with our signature secondary floating fabric keeper, which allows the spare tail to be stowed without the need for folding back (unless desired), and repositioned 7 o’clock buckle to deliver greater comfort and enhanced aesthetics.
Mirroring a 1945 dated NOS specimen strap, the single-pass layout offers a streamlined wearing profile and reduced "off-wrist" height while retaining the security of a one-piece layout to protect against spring-bar failure.
CONSTRUCTION / INSTALLATION
With a double layer of cotton canvas construction and stitch reinforced holes, our Canvas line has a higher side profile than our other straps.
For watches with a limited springbar to case clearance, install bars over the strap, or consider curved bars. Do not force strap through, as this may deteriorate strap, bars and case.
