The Swiss Military Hanowa Avalanche takes a 25 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. A field or pilot watch at heart, it suits canvas, nylon and matte leather more than polished calf. With a 41 mm case and 100 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance. Automatic movement. Most straps here come with quick-release spring bars, so the swap takes a minute and no tool.
We do not sell watches. This page exists to find the straps that fit this one.
