Haveston have blue and grey tones in their Service series of straps, don't know if they would suit. I have several of their straps, and in a bluey/grey colour I have a Carrier on my Voyager.

Does anyone know of any straps that are similar to the RAF Blue-Grey colour?
Thanks

F.T.F.A.
Thanks for your reply - much appreciated. - I have been looking at the Sector A2.
One thing I'm confused about - it comes across that they're a UK Company - but when you click on their shop the price comes up in Dollars - so with most cards you will get a foreign transaction fee.
I can't see a way to change it to pounds - do you know if there is?
Cheers
Try www.natostrapco.com...they have a couple of colours that may come close.
Bremont make one, you often see it on the display watches.
This may sound a bit daft but are you looking at NATO style straps or any sort of blue fabric strap? Phoenix straps are the issued straps and are the right colour, I find them very good quality. CWC NATOS are even better quality in my book.
Phoenix from mickie500 on eBay...link.
Otherwise, have a look at www.ukwatchstrap.co.uk. They have quite a selection of blue straps...link.
I've just placed my first order with Haveston and am delighted with their service and the quality of their straps. I thought they were a US based company and e-mailed them when they confirmed my order. Here's their reply for reference:
Hello David,
Thank you for your kind email. We are indeed based in the UK. Our website currently displays prices in USD as a means of universal international currency, but we are working on a new website which will offer greater currency options which we hope to launch soon.
Warm regards,
Alex
I'm pleased to have a "NATO" strap which doesn't have the extra flappy bit and actually looks tidy on the wrist.
Next order will be for one of their canvas straps.
I have several of the Haveston straps and they would be my "go to" NATO of choice.
Hi there, the pantone of the RAF blue uniform is pantone 7545C. Currently no strap exists as far as I know that will match perfectly but some get very close.
A couple of colour related links:
Make of them what you can. i'm not saying that either is 'correct'.
Edit And the RAF also used a sky blue for their ensign, Pantone 549 C I believe, and for their colours.

FYI the strap for the Bremont Arrow is Pantone 7545 C as it was collaborated between the RAF and Bremont to match the RAF uniforms.
Hmmm...well when I put 549 C into this I get a purple colour https://encycolorpedia.com/search?q=549C - but I agree that I think the colour selector is off rather than your numbers. But it does show you how difficult this colour coding is ☹️
Edit - but it indicates that #5d8aa8 is RAF Blue https://encycolorpedia.com/search?q=%235D8AA8
