Sometimes, its the small details that make an outfit look particularly polished and well thought out. And whilst 80s digital watches are nice, they have become a bit ubiquitous. Striped, military style watch straps – particularly when paired with a vintage watch face – can make a statement. Actually part of the preppy uniform (those bold colours and stripes) and available at stores like Rugby Ralph Lauren in the States, the striped military watch strap can also be found here on grooming site, Carter and Bond. A bargain detail at £15 and worth digging around to find the perfect, vintage watch face to pair it with.
Military watch straps: its the details that count

Nato watch straps (or G10′s as they are sometimes called) are great, but you need to make sure you buy a good quality one – which you can actually get for around half the price stated above. They are available in 18mm, 20mm (which is also fine for 19mm UK military issue CWC watches) and 22mm (for Panerai).

Just bought some great watchstraps from “The Regimental Shop” in the UK, at:
