The following array mostly of Ferretti's and some mine:


First straps and buckle made for the Marina Miltare in the 1940's











Strap used for the compass, depth gauge and the 2/56 - 1950's




















The particular construction of the Panerai straps












Second series of straps/buckles used for the Marina Militare 40's-50's

















First series buckle used for Italian and German Panerais













Buckle used for compass and depth gauge in the 1970's-80's
