I've lusted after the Steveo Para strap for what feels like years now but never wanted to splash that much cash on 'just a canvas'.
Since buying my Steeldive 'Tuna' I've thought that it was crying out for a top canvas so eventually bit the bullet. I'm so pleased that I did. As per the spec, it's no ordinary canvas strap.
Here's the spec:
The Para Canvas
Made from ex RAF G.Q. 60 ft utility parachute deployment bag which was an issued stock and not war reserved. It was serviced at RAF Hullavington, Wiltshire and dispatched to 47 Air Despatch, RAF Lyneman for deployment from the Hercules heavy drop of RAF support command. It has four layers which have been bonded together with a flexible bonding agent which makes this waterproof, strong and probably one of the most pliable canvas straps available. There are two canvas keepers. It is made to fray and will do so instantly.
This total canvas strap is extremely waterproof as it has 4 layers of canvas which are bonded with 3 layers of a special flexible polymer. This still allows the strap to fray as intended.
Craftsmanship and service has been first class. The strap is thick yet durable and looks like it'll fray nicely. it's also very water resistant which sets it apart from most (not all) canvas straps up to this price point.
I think it looks great on the Steeldive too.

My Speedmaster lives on a bespoke leather strap from Steveo Straps. It's a lovely thing, immaculately made & so well suited to the Speedmaster.
It was a pleasure to order from Steveo & the strap only took just over a week.
This is one of his more sandy colour pull-through straps (3 ring Zulu to anyone else). I love it, really comfy, no nylon strtch in the wet.
Thoroughly recommended

Looked at these loads before but think this might finally tip the scales looks a great strap 👍
Looks good!
That would go great on my Seawolf. Suitably “mil” numerals and that strap. Nice!

Snap. I have the same strap sitting on Eddie’s PRS 40. Makes a great combination to my eye. The strap is very comfortable.
Great straps.

Hmm looks like a possible option for my cp-2, might take the plung.
I have one and very happy. I have my Explorer 2 on it currently. it is great, but a bit thick! superb packaging and delivery too.
That looks like a perfect strap for my Tudor Ranger. Currently it has a green Watchgecko NATO but the canvas looks much more fitting

Dave that looks the db's! I've a couple from Steveo and they are so well made. Well done.
The CWC Falklands ones are really cool.

I keep looking at that Steeldive model. I know it's just a matter of time before I buy it, it's a heck of a watch for the money. What is the quality of the finish, I can't find any close up photos of the dial and markers.

Another thumbs up from me, had mine just over a year and it just looks better as it ages.IMG_3322.JPG

The Steveo is perfect on my Marq Commander

Really like the look, and the construction of these.
Unfortunately not a fan of all the military markings. Or the union flag.
If anyone's on a budget then these are pretty good:

I have two and they've lasted pretty well. Not sure about water resistance but at £8.95, who cares
If you don’t want it to fray, run the edges over a flame from a height and it’ll gently seal them.
I have two canvas straps from Steveo. A cream one specially made with black hardware that I have no watch to wear it with at present (there’s a reason !) and this green one that looks great on almost anything. Highly recommended indeed.
