The Signature military watch strap is the perfect blend of comfort and strength. The 1.25mm thick nylon has a subtle shine and is very supple, which makes it exceptionally comfortable on the wrist. However, the material also has a very tight weave, so it is also incredibly strong and durable.
The hardware is brushed stainless steel, with a solid buckle that's strong enough to stand up to wear and tear. Meanwhile, the keeper nearest the buckle is a floating keeper that can move to suit the length of the excess strap that needs to be secured.
With a length of 285mm, the Signature watch strap will be able to fit any wrist size from 6 inches to 9 inches (15.25cm to 22.86cm).
So, whether you’re at the beach or the office, the Signature watch strap will look right at home. The weave is smart and smooth without compromising the functionality you need.
This design was created to stand up to the rigours of active military service, and as it’s made from durable nylon it can keep your watch secure in some of the harshest environments in the world. This style was first produced in 1973 by the British Ministry of Defence. The key reason for its creation was the security it offers. Thanks to its one-piece construction, the strap will ensure your watch doesn’t fall off your wrist if a spring bar fails.
