Strapping down! Chasing a stainless steel PP buckle for the 5960A
Hang on!! You can’t just buy a SS PP Buckle. You have to be a trusted PP customer and buy a PP strap. Thinking about this combo for the 5960A. 1)PP textile strap from the 5470P and (It can be ordered to fit the 21mm on the 5960A) 2)SS Calatrava buckle fro...

The strap in your picture...
Is it black or blue? It appears black but thought the 5740P strap is blue.

It’s just a super dark blue. But I’m looking to see if they can make it black.
