Step back in time with this handcrafted 22mm Bund watch strap, meticulously designed to evoke the rugged spirit of World War II military gear. The unique black and olive-green patina finish gives the leather a weathered, "battle-worn" character that looks like it has survived decades of history.
The Bund style (with the protective leather pad) was originally designed for pilots and soldiers to protect the wrist from extreme temperatures and ensure the watch stayed secure in the field.
