SKU Code: 50COVL20B

These leather-covered watch straps are available in both 18mm and 20mm widths, measuring 240mm in length. Straps with a face protector have been widely used since the 1950s and remain popular today. Many serving military personnel choose them because they offer a high degree of protection to the watch and prevent image intensifiers from picking up the glow of the watch dial during nighttime operations.

Key Features:

  • Durable Design: Leather-covered for enhanced protection and durability.
  • Length: 240mm, suitable for most wrist sizes.
  • Widths: Available in both 18mm and 20mm to fit a variety of watch models.
  • Face Protector: Conceals the watch dial's glow, crucial for nighttime operations.

Historical Use:

One notable user of these straps was the Rhodesian Army Selous Scouts, a special forces unit active during the Rhodesian Bush War from 1973 until the country's reconstitution as Zimbabwe in 1980. The Selous Scouts, formed from the Rhodesian Special Air Service (SAS) and the Rhodesian African Rifles, operated covertly in small groups as an elite counter-insurgency unit. One of our clients, a former member of this unit, shared an image of the strap on a W10 watch used by the Selous Scouts. This image can be found as the last image after the cap badge.

Modern Relevance:

With the increasing use of self-luminous watches that utilize GTLS tritium light sources, these straps, along with their modern nylon-covered equivalents, have become extremely popular among currently serving military personnel. The straps' ability to conceal the watch's glow is crucial for maintaining stealth during active deployment.

These leather-covered watch straps combine historical significance with modern functionality, making them an excellent choice for both military personnel and watch enthusiasts looking for reliable and protective watch straps.

Amazing fiberglass restoration.
So easy to use and fabulous results. A few years back I had tried Maguires products to restore the shine on a 5th wheel. That was so labor intensive and the results were struggled to achieve faded quickly. I hesitated to Poli Glow due to the cost and our prior attempts lackluster results. I was able to get the restoration kit at a discount on Black Friday through the stores website and tackled the camper with the temps between 60-90 as instructed. I bought 2 of those kits just to find out that due to the climate and UV exposure the number of coats I would need for the Poli Glow was going to exceed the amount I had on hand through the 2 restoration kits. So I had to scramble to buy another bottle of Poli Glow. Applying this product is just time consuming and not difficult. Make sure to properly prepare the surface before using poliglow. The whole system turn a badly oxidized camper into a shiny finish. I am truly shocked. Hopeful the results will last a while. 5th wheel camper 40 foot long. I have used 3 poliglow bottles (12 coats), 1 bottle poli ox, 1.5 bottles of Poli wash (of course, not in that order). I potentially need 1 more bottle of Poli Glow to finish nose cone/basement area (basement area is still in good condition so may not do this area if I can get the nose cone with the remainder of the Poli glow I have.)

Worth the time and effort.
After proper surface prep and 6 applications, my badly sun damaged RV shined like new, with many compliments. However, after a few months under the cover, the fiberglass surfaces that were in contact with the occasionally wet cover in the Florida sun discolored badly, and will have to be wet sanded and the coating re-applied. Also, the polish does not hold up well where boat fenders rub against the coating, and it wears away in cockpit areas that are heavy hand traffic, like hatchways and around handrails. Overall a decent product, I will probably re-apply in a couple seasons.

Brings old paint back to life.
Best product for fiberglass oxidation. Tried many different wax’s and compounds. Poly Glow did what the wax could not do.
