6B/169 clip on leather strap

The WW2 pigskin leather strap from 1940.

This strap was issued in 1940 with the 6B/159 RAF pilot watch, and continued in service until 1980.

The unique clip on design has been faithfully copied.

After our first batch of the tan 6B/169 strap, customers darkened the leather, and we have had requests for a darker clip on 6B/169 strap, and have been able to source a darker leather, slightly softer, with a more distinct nubuck feel.

The tan strap is shown full length alongside an original 1940's strap.

Each batch of the 6B/169 straps will be limited in number by the size of the pigskin available, pigskin being the original WW2 material for the 6B/169 strap.

The original tan batch of the strap on the right of the main image is still available, but only in 16mm width. The new darker brown strap on the left of the main image is available in 16mm and 18mm width.
