FS: Pilot's straps great for big chronos made in U.K.

Introducing two new styles of my popular AVIATORS pilot’s straps. These straps are custom-made for my orders in England, but shipped to you quickly from the United States.

AVIATORS are now also available in a beautiful chestnut medium brown leather or in black leather with contrasting stitching.


AVIATORS are great for fixed-lug military watches and they work equally well on modern watches with spring-bar lugs. The heavy-duty military type construction means that these straps can easily and safely carry even the heaviest of modern chronographs or big military style watches.

You can now choose from 6 different colors and styles of AVIATORS: matte black smooth finish; dark brown with contrasting stitching: pigskin light tan; black with a pebbled finish; chestnut medium brown; and black with contrasting stitching. AVIATORS are made in the United Kingdom. The beefy buckles are stainless steel.


AVIATORS start at just $29.99 each for the 18mm ones, with cheap shipping options starting at $1.95.

BUY TWO STRAPS AND U.S. SHIPPING WITH TRACKING IS FREE!

AVIATORS have two sandwiched layers of high-quality leather. Each AVIATOR strap is embossed “AVIATOR, Made in England.” AVIATORS measure 8 1/2 inches (215mm) long when placed end to end, counting the buckle, with the ends closed.



Sizes, colors and prices of AVIATORS available for immediate delivery:

18MM - $29.99 each

Chestnut brown; black with contrasting stitching; dark brown with contrasting stitching; pigskin light tan; black matte smooth finish; and black pebbed finish.

20MM - $30.99 each

Chestnut brown; black with contrasting stitching; dark brown with contrasting stitching; pigskin light tan; black matte smooth finish; and black pebbed finish.

22MM - $32.99 each

black smooth

24MM

black smooth - $34.99

(the 24mm size has two screws on each side instead of one as shown below and is slightly longer at 8 ¾ inches)

*** With the screw fittings, I do recommend that you use Loctite 243 or a similar thread sealer to give the screws a more permanent fit.
