This is our most totally unique and limited edition watch strap! These are made from an ultra unique and extremely rare Swiss ammo pouches that date back to 1900th. Some are from the WWII period and most likely participated in the military occasions (the sample image is made of 1943 year pouch).
They range in many shades of brown from a very light orangish tinted brown to a very sophisticated dark brown.
The strap is made with the black calfskin lining, to keep the strap construction soft and comfortable on the wrist. The thickness of the leather varies (can be made on request 2,5 mm or 4 mm). Please, mention in the comments if you have certain preference.
The strap is absolutely unique. This sample is made of the pouch from year 1943, which most likely was used in the WWII and has plenty of scratches.

NB! Ammo straps are made of real vintage leather from 1900th-1980th. The leather might get dry and requires special leather care balm to avoid drying and breaking. The leather balms also increase longevity of the leather straps and make them softer. We have tested and highly recommend applying small amount of natural Smith’s Balm (made of organic cocoa butter, beeswax and 100% pure sweet almond oil) weekly to the valuable Ammo watch band.
