What are Swiss Ammo Straps?

Swiss Ammo Straps are special straps created using vintage Swiss Ammo Pouch leathers from the beginning of the last century.  Some of the leathers are over 100 years old!  


Why do we choose ammo pouches from the Swiss army instead of others?

Swiss ammo pouches are made using high quality cow hide from the Swiss mountains.  These cow hides are thick and supple, and of very high quality.  

All Swiss Ammo pouches come with a set of stamps indicating:  1. The year the ammo pouch was made.  2.  The name of the maker and 3. The city/town the pouch was issued to.  This set of stamps is highly desirable among strap collectors. 


Why Ted Su Swiss Ammo Straps are so popular?


Unique- No two Swiss Ammo straps are exactly the same due to their age and history.  They look extremely well on watches with military background such as Panerai and Rolex. 

Durable - The leather is thick and saturated with natural oil. The more oil in the leather, the more durable the leather is.

Customization - Swiss ammo straps can be made exactly to your preferences.  Stitching colors, textures, location of the stamps...and many more.  With so many options, you can create a totally unique Swiss Ammo Strap to fit your style. 

Fiberglass reinforced- - All critical areas of the strap are reinforced with tear-proof fiberglass paper.

Vintage “Bridge Stitching” - - This unique stitching is found inside the Swiss Ammo Pouches. Details like this shows the amount of attention invested in making such beautiful pouches. We love to continue this legacy from that era.


Since the first Swiss Ammo Straps were created in 2005, they have become our signature and most popular straps.
