The Swiss Military Hanowa Swiss Recruit Lady Ceramic takes a 16 mm strap: measure between the lugs and that is the only number you need. We list 9 straps in that width. A field or pilot watch at heart, it suits canvas, nylon and matte leather more than polished calf. With a 31 mm case and 50 m of water resistance, a strap of medium thickness keeps the balance.
