Jedburgh 2. 0 Two Piece Leather Watch Strap - extended length from 1.0 Named after the Jedburgh teams of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), The "Jedburgh” is handmade in the USA with American-made English bridle leather. Available in 20 x 16 mm and 22 x 18 mm (lug x buckle width) with buckles in stainless steel and PVD. There are a few accessories that every watch owner needs, and a durable two-piece leather strap is one of them. The Jedburgh contains a subtle W.O.E. stamp on the “round end” of the billet end (the part with the holes). When worn, the insignia is not readily visible. As with previous W.O.E. lines it is developed for a quiet professional who appreciates the history of Intelligence and Special Operations, and honors those who came before us.The Jedburgh is built to last using English bridle leather, chosen for its sturdiness and classy appearance. The strap will break in with regular wear. The rounded tip, contrast stitching and reinforced, wider strap keepers make this strap stand out from the more traditional polished luxury watch straps. The strap is made to fit individuals with 5.75-7.5 inch wrists but is dependent on the size of the watch: ensure you measure your wrist prior to ordering. As of June 2024, the Jedburgh is 10 mm longer and contains more holes than previous iterations.Heritage: “The Jedburgh” is named after the Jedburgh teams of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The strap was designed as a modern interpretation of a strap worn by members of the World War II era OSS. Dubbed the Glorious Amateurs, OSS officers conducted sabotage and subversion operations in both the European and Asian theaters. The Jedburgh teams were in many ways the predecessors to modern day Intelligence and Special Operations.Refined, Yet Adventurous: This versatile watch strap was designed to fit in in the African bush, New York boardroom or European café. It pairs well with a beat-up Seiko 5 in the desert or a vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 at your local hipster coffee shop. It is perfect for a Tudor, Omega, Hamilton, Sangin or anything in between.What to Expect: The Jedburgh epitomizes the “Use your Tools” motto and it will break in like a good pair of boots or blue jeans. The strap is made to fit individuals with 5.75-7.5 inch (14.6 to 19.1 centimeters) wrists but is dependent on the size of the watch: ensure you measure your wrist prior to ordering. In contrast to the DNC Strap, the Jedburgh has a traditional 4 mm taper to the buckle for a more refined look.Made in America: There is a lot of virtue signaling with “Made in America.” That said, supporting American small businesses is in line with our core beliefs as a community so we will continue to default to “American made” when possible. From a practical standpoint, working with US-based partners allows W.O.E. to rapidly iterate with our suppliers to develop unique and lasting tools. Further, the quality of American handmade leather goods far exceeds anything else on the market.
