Picked up this beautiful 75090 Submariner today from 1993. I have the original jubilee bracelet but here it is on the NATO from the Black Bay 36 (they used to provide a NATO as well as the bracelet). Stunning watch - I’m delighted!

Very sweet, the strap on it looks great. Is there a pattern on the strap?

Yes it's one of those woven ones that Tudor make - it has a pattern of grey camouflage woven in. Here's a little detail on the Tudor woven straps quoted from a Revolution Watch article:

"Ever since 2010, when Tudor began offering a second fabric strap with their timepieces, starting with the Heritage Chronograph, it is Julien Faure that the brand had been turning to for their exceptional ware.

The Heritage Chronograph is the first watch to have been supplied with a second fabric strap from Julien Faure
But look, it’s not like Julien Faure has been simply producing long strips of fabric — on their antique mechanical jacquard looms, no less — cutting them up to length and then sewing the necessary hardware on for Tudor’s needs.

Rather, what Julien Faure has been producing for Tudor is truly a technical feat. For the purpose of the strap’s strength and integrity, the folks over at the Saint-Étienne facility, engineered a fabric that is at least 500 threads per centimeter in length and 90 across.

Or how about this — the space on the strap where the spring bars slot through, aren’t simply sewn in holders, rather they are formulated into the looming process to create “tunnels” in primary structure of the fabric. Same thought process is applied to where the pin buckle is secured and even the holes are, where you’re meant to secure the pin..."
