Strap recommendation

Hey all. I recently purchased a new strap for my Hamilton Khaki field watch having seen Gary from ‘I Like Watches’ review it. I literally sprained my fingers in my rush to order this as I could immediately see the Hamilton sporting this look and I was not disappointed.

The leather is supple out of the bag and even with the extra thickness it immediately conformed to my wrist, this thing is SUPER comfortable. As for finish, the contrasting lining is something I appreciate, the colour is consistent throughout as is the quality of the stitching

The clasp is signed and the rest of the hardwear feels fit for purpose and (again) nicely finished. All in all I’m very pleased with both the look this strap has given the watch and the quality of the product and I wanted recommend these Vario straps for anyone looking to freshen up their babies

Never envisionsed such a clean watch on that strap, but it really works and looks great.       Seems like the minor sprain was well worth it.

Thanks 🙏 in the review there was a ‘homage’ Tudor Ranger on the strap that really looked superb! Made me look at legit Rangers too 👍

Unfortunately my fingers suffer constant sprains from urgent horological based purchases 👍

That looks badass!

That looks slick

Thanks, it feels badass. It’s given me that new watch feeling 👍

Works beautifully with that Hammy. Turns a (great) unassuming field watch into a statement piece!

·

I need to get one of these. They are very practical looking somehow.

Dude! I just looked at your collection, how have you not got a bund strap with all those spanking tool watches?

I thought about a black one for my 556a 👍

·

Wow that looks legit! Really works well with the white dial. 

·

Really nice choice. I've always been intrigued by bund straps and you have certainly pulled off a nice combo matching this strap with that watch.

·

The watch will take just about any strap. Nice combo with the bund. 

·

I would never have thought of pairing that strap with that watch,  but it looks amazing. Thanks for posting.

Thank you 👍 Got a feeling the black dial would look just as good

Thank you 🙏 I like the look of it on the Hamilton leather pass through but had heard that strap wasn’t of great quality, really pleased with this choice 👍

This is awesome.  I have an SNK803 that I have only because my daughters both also have one. I could use one of these straps to make it more wearable for me. I'm definitely going to check it out.  Thanks for the heads up!

It really looks great on that Bundeswehr strap!  Over the years I have found the Bund straps to not work well with my wrist size and shape.  

I still love to see other people rocking them!

I have one beady eye on the trench watch with the brass case and the black dial but I’m trying to curb my spending 😑

I can't decide on the best colour combination for the trench watch,it changes daily!

Also in my sights is the phoebus Nebula and the steinhart ocean vintage military. All completely different but that's the joy of this hobby I'm finding?

I went with this one, you can ask Ivan about production numbers as some of them a very limited. There's less than 100 of this one (40mm), it now one of my favorite watches. Even better in person! I purchased a Vario black and brown bund strap as well. Just to keep it fresh, but it Lives on this green one!

That is beautiful 👀 I’m with @Guvnor64 im struggling to pick which one I’d like. I’m personally between the white dial with the red 12, and he black dial with the orange numerals. Either way the case would be brass 👍

Wow! Not seen this colour combination before. Stunning! Oh dear spoilt for choice. There should be a vario trench watch owners club. I agree with @Sewerman it looks like brass is the way to go now?

Tbh I really don’t like Bundt straps. However, it looks great on this watch.

Thank you 🙏 it’s funny the difference the right strap makes isn’t it 👍

I just ordered a couple more of the bund straps. They are just so comfortable! Perfect for vintage watches
