I decided recently that – as much as I like the DB10 I ordered for my Autavia GMT – I’d also like something a little more substantial. I’d tried one on with a Stach strap but they’re not cheap and seem like a bit of a palava to order, so I set about looking for something similar but “off the peg” and not too costly. In the end I had a gander at the Crown & Buckle straps from the US, and ordered the one in the photo below together with a couple of others.

I really like the result, and at around £30 per strap delivered I reckon they’re great value if you want the chunky vintage look without paying an arm and a leg to achieve it.
