Handcrafted Straps
Eco Single Pass NATO Strap in Recycled Polyester — Brown
A single piece that passes through both lugs. The single-pass design is not a shortcut—it's a precise technical choice: no double layer under the case back, no protrusion on the wrist, no tail coming out of the buckle.
This strap is made from 100% recycled polyester, crafted in Italy. The material maintains its structure even after months of daily use, resisting moisture without absorbing odors. The brown complements both brushed metal and polished steel with equal naturalness.
The 316L stainless steel buckle and loops—the same material used in watch case backs—ensure stability over time without the risk of oxidation. The slim 1.5mm thickness keeps the strap discreet even under a cuff.
A detail worth considering: the one-piece construction offers passive redundancy. If a spring bar fails, the strap still keeps the watch on your wrist.

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
Can I get it wet without any issue?
Yes. It is made of Newlife® recycled polyester, obtained from plastic bottles, Made in Italy supply chain. It is water-resistant and does not absorb odours. You can wear it in the shower or in the pool with no worries.
What sizes are available?
20mm and 22mm. Both are available with a stainless steel buckle.
What colour is the buckle?
316L stainless steel, the same as the case back. A single, understated colour, suited to both brushed and polished metal.
Can I have traditional spring bars instead of the quick release system?
Yes, I can prepare it for you on request. Same price, about a week's wait. Please let me know which strap you have in mind, so I can proceed.
Can it be felt under the shirt cuff?
No. The thickness is 1.5mm, and the single-piece design under the case back avoids double layers. It stays flat and discreet even under a shirt sleeve.
