Thanks. The strap is a Hirsch Robby. It's from their "performance" range, which has rubber on the inner surface and various finishes on the outer surface - in this case it is sailcloth. I have quite a lot of these performance straps as they allow me to wear leather-looking straps despite being allergic to leather. I find them very supple and comfortable. However, I know some people find the sectioned rubber finish on the inner surface a little uncomfortable, so they are perhaps not for everyone. Definitely worth trying one though.

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

That'll be me Steve, along with the longitudinal ribs on the CW hybrid.

My watch for today and a shameless plug for the £30 (!) strap I just bought from Golby Straps - https://www.etsy.com/shop/golbywatchstraps

Takes me back to the early CW days when everything on a leather strap (including my first C4, C7 and C70) all came on a butterfly clasp. Soooooo much better than a tang imho.

Anyway, great value strap Mr. Golby, best of luck with the venture :thumbup:

Apologies for the potatocam photo!

Very nice. One of only 15 made. :thumbup:

Thanks… It’s a very different watch to all my others… I did hear it referred to as a “parts bin special” once, but I like it, especially the blue dial, and as you say only a small number were made 👍

Nothing wrong with a parts bin special - as any owner of a red bezel C60 SH21 will testify!
