- Thanks, but it’s actually not a bund (i.e. military issued) version, just a regular release instead. I like it just the same though 😄

Still my favourite spring/summer watch: ...

And still a beauty. This is the watch that made me aware of IWC.

Thanks. I had it's smaller brother, Ocean 500 as well, but sold it as I wasn't wearing it as much.

Welcome to the forum. Very nice on the original strap. I tried to fit the Ocean 2000 strap to this chrono. No luck so I still just have the strap somewhere.

Thanks. IWC actually still sell OEM canvas straps for Ocean 2000 (3rd gen bracelet only). The part number is: IWIWA00315 and the link component part number is IWIWA02815

Shouldn't be strap be the same for all generation bracelets?

I would assume that only the end pieces will be different

Indeed, just the link is different.
