Abstract: There are provided straps particularly adapted for use with wrist watches, characterised by that the strap comprises a plurality of inner strap elements connected to one another side by side in series, and a plurality of ornamentally designed outer strap elements each having a unique configuration devoid of any bores or through bores for receiving connecting pins as used in conventional similar straps. The strap is so constructed that the inner strap elements are in rigid engagement within associated central transverse grooves of the outer strap elements so as for the whole strap to provide such an appearance as if the outer strap elements were flexibly connected directly to one another without intervening of said inner strap elements therebetween.
