Vietnam-Era U.S. Military Watch Strap – 20mm Khaki
These straps were originally manufactured in 1965 and issued in both 16mm and 18mm widths for military watches of the era. They were used on timepieces from brands such as Benrus, Westclox, Hamilton, Bulova, and others.
Faithfully reproduced to match the original U.S. military specification MIL-S-46383A1 WRIST: INSTRUMENT (June 1965), this strap remains true to the authentic design and materials used during the Vietnam War era.
Specifications:
- 1.2mm thick premium ballistic nylon for exceptional durability
- Reinforced high-quality stitching throughout
- Fixed nylon keeper loop in compliance with MIL-S-46383
- Stainless steel fasteners for secure, corrosion-resistant wear
- Length: 254mm (10") – suitable for most wrist sizes
Design Notes:
While the core design of the strap remained consistent over two decades, some minor tweaks occurred, particularly in buckle finishes and stitching reinforcements.
Heritage:
Used with a wide range of U.S. military-issue watches during the Vietnam era and into the Cold War period, these straps became iconic in both form and function. They continue to be favored by military enthusiasts, collectors, and professionals who appreciate historical accuracy blended with modern practicality.
The final two images show the original Vietnam-era watch these straps were used with, alongside a bundle of straps in their period packaging—highlighting the authenticity and heritage of the design.
