317 Years of Swiss Ammo straps!

317 Years of Swiss Ammo straps! I just want to make a quick post of the latest batch of Swiss Ammo straps that I have completed in the last week. These represent years ranging from 1967 to as old as 1945 and a wide range of designs as specifications as well, which I think give a sense of the broad range of options that I can offer for your Custom Swiss Ammo strap.

If you would like to see and read more about Swiss Ammo straps that I have made over the years, please follow this link to a list of Swiss Ammo strap blog posts or by clicking on the related links at the bottom of this post.

Mario’s 1966 Swiss Ammo strap for Kaventsmann:

This strap has been specified to be massively thick (at 7-8mm thick), which is about twice the thickness of our standard Swiss Ammo straps which are themselves quite thick, but given that this strap is destined for a custom 25mm plus thick Kaventsmann Hadal 2 watch, (this link also shows the inspiration for this strap) there is no danger that this strap will overwhelm our customer’s watch! This strap was specified with our massive 4mm+ thick bronze ‘D9’ Buckle with brushed finish

Sean’s 1967 Swiss Ammo strap for Custom Seiko ‘Hulk’ Submariner:

This strap was modeled from a custom strap that I had made for a customer’s Rolex Hulk Submariner a couple of years ago that has garnered quite a following. Sean’s watch is actually a Seiko but custom designed to be a ‘Clone’ of the Hulk Submariner. What can I say, but that this is a unique strap for a very unique custom watch. This strap has been built with padding at the lugs and our exclusive ‘Fully Integrated Fit’ (FIF), which includes our ‘Thick Curved Lug System’ (TCLS) for an integrated fit between the lugs, the strap is then notched to the full width of the lugs after which it tapers back to our customer’s buckle of choice – in this case our brush finish, 22mm, thumbnail buckle. This strap was hand saddle stitched with our forest green Franch-milled linen thread with stitching breaks for the original Swiss Ammo pouch maker stampings

Art’s 1955 Swiss Ammo strap for your Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze:

This strap is for Art’s Tudor Black Bay 58 Bronze and build with padding at the lugs, and has been hand saddle stitched with our Beige/Bronze French-Milled linen thread. This vintage pouch dating from 1955 has an awesome patina that I think that it’s going to look amazing with his watch.

Andrew’s 1945 Swiss Ammo strap for Panerai PAM422:

This strap is a real beauty made from one of our rare lighter-colored Swiss Ammo pouches dated to about the end of WWII, most Swiss Ammo pouches from the period tend to be very dark and/or heavily patinaed. However, this leather shows nothing but a little bit of discoloration from the belt the pouch had been worn on and the beautiful, natural antique tan of this nearly 80-year-old leather. Made for Andrew’s Panerai PAM422, I think this will be a great match for the watch.

Tyler’s 1965 Swiss Ammo strap with Skull Rivets at the lugs for Panerai PAM356:

1965 Swiss Ammo strap with Skull Rivets for Panerai PAM365

I have had the pleasure of building a handful of these Swiss Ammo straps with skull Rivets over the years and have consistently liked how they have turned out. Tyler’s 1965 Swiss Ammo strap is no exception. Built to fit his Panerai PAM365 Luminor Daylight Chronograph with ‘Dirty Dial’, I think that this is going to make a great combination.
