    The watch would most likely have originally come on a cord bracelet as it was quite the fashion at the time.
    The cord probably wore through and was replaced with the flexi bracelet some time in the 1950s/1960s, these were also quite the fashion.

    An example is shown below.

    The photo I posted was merely an example, and the strap may be modern reproduction, but the shoe string was commonplace for watches of the type you've posted.
