Handcrafted Straps
NATO Strap in Recycled Newlife® — Black with Red Edges
100% recycled polyester, military fabric, Made in Italy. It's not a compromise between aesthetics and responsibility—it's a precise technical choice. Recycled nylon maintains the rigid structure of a classic military strap, with the same resistance to wear and daily use cycles.
The red edge is not decoration: it's a signal. It distinguishes the strap at a glance on the dial, breaking the black monochrome with a chromatic precision that works best on steel or black PVD cases. The 316L stainless steel buckle and loops complete the system with no weak points.
A work strap, in the most direct sense of the word.

The joy of little things
Changing your strap should be as simple as changing your shoes. With us, it is.
Every strap has integrated quick-release spring bars: swap it in one gesture, no tools, no risk of scratching the lugs. The same watch shifts mood with the moment.

Milanese Craftsmanship
Every strap is a one-off piece, cut and stitched by hand in our Milan atelier. Saddle stitching gives superior strength, while the edges are finished with seven coats of dye applied by brush, for a longevity that outlasts passing trends.

Frequently asked questions
What sizes are available?
20 mm and 22 mm. Check your watch's lug width and choose the correct one.
Can I get it wet, for instance in the pool or in the rain?
Yes, without any issue. It is made of Newlife® recycled polyester, obtained from plastic bottles through a Made in Italy supply chain: it withstands water without being damaged.
What colour is the buckle?
316L stainless steel, the same material as the keepers. A unique system, with no weak points.
Is it suitable for daily use, even heavy-duty?
Yes. The thickness is 1.5 mm, and the construction remains as sturdy as in the classic military strap. It is designed for everyday wear.
Is the red stripe stitched or printed?
It is woven together with the rest, not added afterwards. It serves to make it instantly recognisable on the wrist.
