My "Start" originates somewhere between 1960 and 1962, so it appeared just before this three-colour strap pattern was featured in an early James Bond movie, adorning the famous spy's classy "Rolex Submariner". This strap is actually 20mm wide, while the lug width is 18mm - in the "007" movie the mismatch was just the opposite: narrow strap and wide lugs! So-called "NATO strap" design did not emerge until the early 1970's in the UK and I've never found even similar strap type / pattern originally supplied with any USSR-made watch.
