Handcrafted Straps
Eco Single Pass NATO Strap in Recycled Polyester Newlife® — Grey / Light Blue
A strap that makes no apologies for what it is: functional, lightweight, built to last. 100% recycled polyester is not a compromise — it's a deliberate choice, made by those who know that the material matters as much as the action that produces it.
The Single Pass system is different from NATO: no overlapping under the case, no annoying bulge on the wrist. The strap slides flat, the buckle sits in the center of the wrist, the tail hides in the sliding keeper without creating bulk. A single piece of fabric wraps around everything — and if one of the spring bars should fail, the watch stays in place.
The single 27 cm length fits different wrist sizes without the need to choose between short and regular. The 316L stainless steel buckle and loops do not rust, do not tarnish, and keep time exactly as they should.
Grey and light blue: two tones that speak to each other without overpowering. A military combination in form, lighter in character.

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?
Yes, without any worries. It is Newlife® recycled polyester, made from plastic bottles, with a Made in Italy supply chain. Water, sweat, and rain do not damage it.
What sizes are available?
20 mm and 22 mm lug width. The length is a single size, 27 cm, and adapts to different wrists without having to choose between short and long.
How does it wear compared to a classic NATO?
The Single Pass goes under the case only once. No double layer, no added height. It sits flat on the wrist and the buckle stays centred.
What material is the buckle made of?
316L stainless steel, both the buckle and the rings. It does not rust, does not tarnish, and stays in place even with daily use.
Can I have traditional spring bars instead of the quick release?
Yes, I can fit them on request. Same price, about a week's wait. Just let me know which strap you would like it for, 20 mm or 22 mm.
