In 1973, ?Strap, Wrist Watch? made its debut in the British Ministry of Defence Standard (DefStan) 66-15. For soldiers to get their hands on one, they had to fill out a form known as the G1098, or G ten for short. Subsequently, they could retrieve the strap at their unit?s supply store of the same name.

The key requirements for the ?strap? included ? comfort in all climatic conditions, non irritant materials, water proof , and a length that can be worn on the wrist or over battle dress and wetsuits etc.
