Hamilton Khaki Navy Lug Width?

[notanothercamera]

Hello Guys:

I have an incoming 2003 vintage Hamilton Khaki Navy. It has the bracelet installed.
I'm probably going to change out the bracelet for (a) either the original rubber strap, if I can find one or (b) an aftermarket strap such as a 3-ring Zulu.

Two questions:

Anyone know the lug width? I have seen published data of 20mm and 22mm.

Where might I be able to obtain an original black rubber strap?

As always, thanks for your help!!

I think it has 21mm like the newer ones.

definately 21mm for all newer model Navy's with the exception of the Navy Sub - which are all quartz models and 20mm lug width. For aftermarket I'd use 22mm ZULU to insure you don't see the dreaded "strap gap". ZULU is available in even widths only.

I have an early Khaki Navy automatc. 20mm lugs. The original rubber strap has embedded spring bars. If you switch to nato, you will need to pick up 20mm spring bars.

My 2003 Hamilton Khaki Navy arrived yesterday. The lug width is 20mm also. Of course I find this out after buying a 22mm strap
