This PVD process means that the colour of the steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore it will not deteriorate even during heavy usage although it can be destroyed if the buclke is badly damaged by a piece of metal being gouged out or if it's worn down by really heavy abrasion against rocks or something similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Evolution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of the NATO strap began over 50 years ago with a single grey strap.
