PPS Please, mention in comments if you prefer more orange or darker leather. This listing is for the band in a similar color and thickness. In case you want a plain band, without army stamps and holes, leave a comment when placing an order.
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.
