Dirk Pre-V straps (new 24mm buckle)

Any resemblance between these and any PAV-whatsover straps is purely coincidental - as we're still using the original tools & leathers for the straps that came with the 201/A, 202/A and 203/A in 1993-1994.

OK - Proud to launch the new 24mm 'Dirk' Coinage buckle. Same size & shape (and produced with the same coinage/minting technique) as the 1993 originals. The minting form not only provides the stamp, but also shapes the buckle with those soft-feeling rounded edges.





Straps with these 24mm coinage buckles will only be offered in the Pre-V style (without fixed keeper and with full-box stitching on both ends). We'll do these in 110/65mm, 115/70mm, 120/75mm, 125/80mm, 130/85mm, 135/90mm, 140/95mm and 145/100mm. Straps come with a 2nd gliding keeper. That's normally a spare in case your first one wears out after 10+ years, although you can also mount and wear the straps with those 2 gliding keepers.





Even these trusted old friends decided to make a comeback and join me again for the new straps:





Here's a list of all historically correct colors:

L > R :
Vero Cuoio Nero with black stitching

Vacchetta Naturale (darkens with exposure to air/daylight and daily wear, while developing an awesome patina)
Vero Cuoio Legno
Vero Cuoio Cognac
Vero Cuoio Dark Tan
Vero Cuoio Light Brown

PRE-V straps have full box stitching on both ends (no fixed keeper)
PAV straps (one fixed + 1 gliding keeper) can be ordered in longer tail versions (+5, +10, +15 or +20mm), whereby the holes are placed as if it was a standard strap (110/65mm, 115/70mm, 120/75mm, 125/80mm, 130/85mm, 135/90mm, 140/95mm, 145/100mm). Important for the fit is the buckle end, of course. We won't do these with the 'Dirk' Coinage buckle.
