1967 Swiss Ammo strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

1967 Swiss Ammo strap for Blancpain Fifty Fathoms –  At Dangerous9straps, we are committed to creating straps that combine heritage and craftsmanship. Our latest creation, a Custom 1967 Swiss Ammo Strap, is thoughtfully designed for the iconic Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5015.

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5015: An Icon of Dive Watch History

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 5015 is a timeless classic – this renowned dive watch with a legacy dating back to the 1950s. Originally made for military divers, its durable construction, water resistance, and distinctive design set the standard for modern dive watches. Today, the Fifty Fathoms 5015 is celebrated for its blend of functionality and style.

A Piece of History on Your Wrist

Our custom strap is crafted from genuine vintage Swiss ammunition pouch leather, carefully salvaged to preserve its unique character and darkened at my customer’s request to a deeper, richer brown. This strap features the original maker’s mark, 1967 date stamp, and Swiss inspection stamp—historical details that add authenticity and charm.

One-of-a-Kind Craftsmanship

Each Custom Swiss Ammo Strap is truly unique. The natural aging and patina of the salvaged leather ensure that no two straps are exactly alike. Variations in color, texture, and markings give each strap its distinct character.  Together with the unique, original maker’s stamping including the name of the individual saddler (sattler) and the Swiss town of his workshop, the year of manufacture and and finally the Swiss cross inspection stamping makes each strap, like the pouch from which is was made a one-of-a-kind item.

Exceptional Design & Premium Features

For optimal fit to the watch, we’ve added padding at the lugs, creating a substantial feel on the wrist. Our exclusive ‘Thick Curved Lug System’ (TCLS) ensures a seamlessly integrated fit between the lugs of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, enhancing aesthetics to a strap that is unmistakably bespoke by Dangerous9strap.

Hand-Stitched Details & Finishing Touches

Hand saddle-stitched with Olive Drab Irish-milled waxed linen thread, this strap combines durability with refined style. The precise stitching reinforces the strap while adding subtle visual appeal. This is really a great color for both this vintage tone leather and also looks great with the greenish tone lume of the Fifty Fathoms

Completing the look is our polished ‘D9’ logo screw-in thumbnail buckle, offering both security and a touch of elegance.
