Great find, Brian!

As for the strap, while the TR-900 specifications indicate the MIL-S-21382, that strap specification had been superseded by the MIL-S-46383 by the time the first TR-900s were being delivered in 1965. Paperwork was filed to indicate the deviation from original spec to the new spec when watches were delivered to the Navy. I would image many of the MIL-S-21382 straps were still in service and subsequently may have been paired with a TR-900.

I hope this is of interest. Kind regards, B.

I just received this early military wrist compass that's mounted on a great strap. It's the same strap that was used on the tr900. I have an interesting watch coming in soon and it's going to look great mounted! Brian...  

Wow! LOL! It looks like a small Tower of Pisa......

As for your new Watch, I can't wait! Another FF, I presume? Best, Nicolas

Of course it's a FF!

It's going to look right at home mounted on this strap. Here is a photo of my Marine tr-900. Brian ...
