Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

I usually wear one of these.

Anyone know where in the U.K. or Europe I can get a new strap for my Elgin?

Can I suggest you go online to a chap who specialises in these bands.
The website is www.watchdoc.com

I bought one from him recently and the service was fast and efficient. Shipped to England in a few days. Not cheap but hey what is these days and it’s correct and right for my Bulova.

There are single and two piece bands - the one I purchased was a new old stock www2 military canvass band to fit, as described, Bulova, Hamilton, Waltham and Elgin WW2 watches.

And they are available in correct colour green ( as per what you are looking for )

Just received this ‘Oris’ in the post today. Lovely little watch, very modest (£20) outlay - so I can enjoy it to the full.
