There's a story behind every hole in this strap. The Military strap was born in the laboratories of the British Ministry of Defense, cataloged with a stock number that became its first name. Soldiers requested it by filling out form G1098 — hence, the nickname G10, still in use among enthusiasts.
The design was military in the purest sense: no ornamentation, no concessions to aesthetics for their own sake. Only function. The one-piece design wraps around the wrist, connecting separately to each spring bar: if one fails, the strap remains in place. The watch doesn't fall off. It's not a detail — it's the reason it exists.
In burgundy Italian calfskin, this G10 carries something that overly refined straps don't: understated character. The color pairs effortlessly, and the leather molds to the wrist over time. On the smaller loop, the excess strap folds and tucks in — an elegant, unintentionally stylistic solution. For larger wrists, the strap naturally reaches the second loop. One size, fits all.
Sean Connery wore it in Goldfinger on a Submariner. Nothing else was needed.

The shades of burgundy may vary slightly from piece to piece, depending on the natural characteristics of the leather.
