Custom Swiss Ammo straps for Panerai, Rolex and U-Boat watches:

Hi Strap lovers.  Here are some photos of various Swiss Ammo straps I’ve recently completed.  Swiss Ammo straps are a regular part of my business and I typically build a half dozen or so per month.  Typically customers come to me for these when they are looking for something a bit special or unusual because most other strap makers make Swiss Ammo straps only for Panerai watches of other similarly large scale straps.  While I am Happy to build Swiss Ammo straps for just about any size watch.  I also do unique optional upgrades such as Padding at the lugs and out exclusive Thick Curved Lug System (TCLS) upgrade for an integrated fit between the lugs and even Bund straps.  All of these options taken together or singularly, will provide a uniquely custom strap that no one else will have.

1950 Swiss Ammo strap for PAM193 with Padding and TCLS:

This strap is really special and I think looks incredibly unique.  Modeled here on a PAM194, the Padding and ‘Thick Curved Lug System’ just look extraordinary and this fit is sublime.  building straps with this fitment are difficult and requires a lot of trial and error hand fitting and I don’t think anyone else can even do this or wouldn’t go to all the trouble.  However, I think these photos speak for themselves and justify the extra time and expense.  This strap has been stitched using our thick and rustic Heather Linen thread which I think really compliments the vintage leather perfectly:

1965 Swiss Ammo strap with Skull rivets at the lugs for PAM Sub:

For those like my good customer Simon who are looking for a bolder look for their vintage Swiss Ammo strap, the addition of skull rivets at the lugs is a great option.  With large brushed finish Nickle skull rivets and stitched with our heavy gauge French Milled Ecru Linen thread with ‘Out-Stitching’ at the lugs, this strap offers a very bold look indeed:

1966 Swiss Ammo for U-Boat Flightdeck 55:

This is pretty much a our standard style Swiss Ammo sttrap, stitched with our heavy gauge French milled Linen thread, which is pretty much our ‘Go-To’ linen for our larger Swiss Ammo straps with stitch breaks at the stampings which really highlights them well .  This strap is 23mm at the lugs to fit the Flighdeck lug and gently tapered to 22mm at the ‘D9‘ screw-in pre-V style buckle.  Thanks John for the great photos of your watch and strap:

Pre-1960’s Swiss Ammo leather Strap for Rolex with our ‘TCLS upgrade:

This is a great strap made for a Rolex with out ‘Thick Curved Lug System’ (TCLS) upgrade for an integrated fit between the lugs.  Made from the from Swiss Ammo Pouch leather without stampings and with only Black linen thread accent stitching at the lugs, this strap provides a very minimalist look and really highlights the beauty of this vintage leather.  Fitted with our single butterfly deployment clasp, this strap build scales perfectly with the smaller dimensions of the Rolex giving a very vintage look while at the same time offering a truly custom fit:
