20mm British Royal Air Force (RAF) Ballistic Nylon Military Webbing Watch Band

Description: This 20mm watch band is in British Royal Air Force (RAF) regimental colors and is ideal for use on a wide range of military watches with 20mm lug size. The strap is made from high quality ballistic nylon with stainless steel fasteners. This is a classic military webbing watchband made from fast drying ballistic nylon webbing. This high tech material is ideally suited for use in military watch straps because it is robust, comfortable and long-lasting. The watch straps themselves are perfect for all extreme activities because the design characteristics reduce the risk of losing a watch to virtually zero, this is because the design of the strap means the watch is held securely at two different points making it virtually impossible for it to come off the wrist. The history of the straps made to this pattern is interesting and started out with the single grey 20mm band over 40 years ago and has expanded from there initially to RAF Blue, Black, and Navy Blue then to the James Bond pattern strap and Olive Green and from there loading manufacturers have made more and more variants in regimental colors, Search and Rescue SAR (which is an orange strap) and an unbelievable range of different designs in national colors, police unit colors and various camouflage options for specific situations. The straps are also frequently used by military units outside of the UK and also purchased by serving military to use on a wide variety of military watches. The original specification of what we today term "the G10 webbing strap" was laid down by the UK Ministry of Defence and was called Defence Standard 66-47 Issue 2 Publication Date 30 March 2001. The specifications which preceded this were Def Stan 66-47 Issue 1 dated 13 November 1992 and two earlier standards, Def Stan 66-15 (Part 1) Issue 1 – Strap (Nylon) dated 30 November 1973 and Def Stan 66-15 (Part 2) Issue 1 – Strap (Leather/Nylon) dated 31 January 1974. We have supplied these straps for over 30 years to a large range of clients ranging from serving military personnel, Police, emergency services, exploration units, Search and Rescue, oil and gas companies, marine salvage and exploration business and also companies operating in tropical or desert locations. The reality is that nothing beats a strap of this type because they are ideally suited for all these organizations because they can be easily washed and they will dry in minutes and do not rot like leather or split like silicon.
