Reply With QuoteI didn't wear my watch on a strap like that, but my Suunto dive compass was fitted with one, oddly enough I've since bought the same strap in black which I now wear on one of my dive watches, more robust than a nato, about £4.00 on eBay.
I know there is a few old divers out in the forum, did anyone else wear their seiko on one of these
Your right it's not a NATO and your right it doesn't fit properly but this is what most of my diving gang used for dive straps
The massive tuck was all part of the style. The depth gauge cost me fortune in those days, most divers where spending hundreds of pounds on their dive watch and £20 on their depth gauge, this depth gauge has a fully adjustable zero.

Hi Number 2, I had a look on eBay searching under the terms ‘nylon strap’ and then ‘nylon dive strap’ but not discovered any yet. Is there a particular search term I could use for greater success? Much appreciated.Originally Posted by number2
I'll try to post a link, can't remember how I found them before but the seller was based in Shetland.

I'd be interested to know where you got one of those straps too. They look cool.

That's brilliant, thanks.
Doh! not Shetland, Orkney,

They used to be fitted to compasses back in the day.
Indeed they did.

Mike hope you're well, any idea what the brass strap buckle thingy is called?

We used to call them cam buckles, I might have some in the old loft box, will have a look tomorrow (just home yesterday), if there is you can have it.

Appreciated
