Trying to track down a specific leather nato strap

I came across this picture and it was just what I was looking for in a leather Nato.. The color, the chunky squared hardware, etc... however I can't track down where it is from. Does anyone happen to know where I can find this nato?

I also posted this a couple weeks back on the General message board, but maybe I'll have better luck on the vintage forum since it's more of a distressed, vintage looking strap with a 1680.

Any feedback is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Nice watch/strap combo. No idea where it's from, but the lower keeper is not like the other two, it seems. More generic.

Yes I agree, I came across that one as well - however the hardware in the pic on the 12 o'clock side is much bulkier and squared off. Perhaps it's an older version and they no longer sell them like that anymore... because the strap, and the hardware on the 6 o'clock side look very similar to the link you sent.

Thanks for the feedback. If anyone else has anymore information, please share

Agreed, I actually reached out to them and already heard back, they no longer produce those straps at this time. Real bummer

But I appreciate the help from everyone!
