Bund Strap

A bund strap, short for “bundeswehr” strap, is a distinctive type of watch strap known for its unique design. It typically consists of two parts: a base strap and an additional protective flap that covers the back of the watch. Originally developed for military use, the bund strap serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.

The primary function of the bund strap is to protect the watch from moisture, dirt, and sweat, especially in rugged or outdoor environments. The extra flap shields the watch case and prevents direct skin contact, making it ideal for military personnel and sports enthusiasts.
