Recycled Polyester Single Pass Military Strap — Black
€52,00
One pass only. No tail, no bulk, no compromises. The Single Pass was born from a precise idea: to bring the strap as close as possible to the wrist, without the typical elevations of traditional NATOs, with the buckle centered under the wrist so as not to disturb the wearer.
This black model is made from 100% recycled polyester — a material choice that has nothing to prove aesthetically but says something about how one views watch design in 2024. The texture is uniform, the mechanical resistance is that of a technical fabric, and the lightness is felt when passing through the lugs.
The monobloc design offers a concrete advantage: if a spring bar were to fail, the strap would still hold the watch to the wrist. This is not a secondary detail. It is why the single pass exists.
The unique length of 27 cm is freely adjustable thanks to the sliding keeper, with no fixed holes. The excess tucks under the keeper — disappearing without protruding.

But if a spring bar breaks, won't my watch fall off my wrist?
No. The single pass is a single piece of fabric that wraps around your wrist — it has no separate tail. If a spring bar were to fail, the strap still holds the watch because it’s already around your wrist. That’s why the single pass exists as a design. With a traditional two-layer NATO, conversely, if the buckle fails, everything falls.
How much space does it take up under the wrist? I have a small wrist and with classic NATOs there’s always a huge tail hanging.
The single pass was born precisely for this. One pass only, no tail sticking out — excess length simply tucks under the keeper and disappears. The buckle is centered under the wrist, not on top, so the wear is clean. It’s not a solution for those with space to spare — it’s the opposite: it’s designed not to waste anything.
Is it really recycled polyester or is it just marketing?
It’s 100% recycled polyester. It’s not an aesthetic choice — the fabric doesn’t ‘look’ superior because it’s recycled, quite the opposite: it has a uniform texture and mechanical resistance like a technical fabric. It’s a choice on how you look at the watch project today. If someone prefers leather, this isn’t the right path. But if the material is coherent with the rest, then the strap says something.
I need it for a 22mm lug width — do you mount it or do I have to figure it out?
The strap is designed for lug widths from 20-22mm. Total length is 27cm, single size, and adjusts freely thanks to the sliding keeper — no fixed holes. As for mounting, it depends what you mean: the strap passes through the lugs like a NATO, so no, you don’t need technical help. If you have doubts about compatibility with your specific watch, best to ask directly.
How does adjustment work without holes? Risk of it slipping during the day?
The sliding keeper is what locks the length. You tighten it at the right point on your wrist and it stays there — it doesn’t slip. It’s more precise than fixed holes because adjustment is continuous, not in increments. Excess fabric tucks under the keeper and you don’t see it. It’s designed to work, not to look the part.
