Its standard British military issue, called a G10 after the form number used to requisition one. There is only one 'official' colour, Admiralty Grey. Here are the Ministry of Defence regulations relating to the strap:

It has now been copied prolifically in many colours.
The CW Collection: Now well used C6IPSI (#2)
C4IP4 (#1331)
C6 Forum LE (#64) -Sold to Tikkathree
C6SWS (#761)
Non-CW: A Breitling, 3x Omega, 1xMido, that now (13y) more ancient Raymond Weil and a Dead Seiko I can't part with (32yrs+)
