Handcrafted Straps
Recycled Single Pass NATO Strap Grey-Red
A single piece passes through both lugs. This is the logic of the Single Pass: a continuous strap that wraps around the back of the watch case and holds it even if a spring bar breaks. This is not a secondary feature — it's a structural difference.
The 100% recycled polyester is not a compromise: it holds its shape, dries quickly, and doesn't warp in the sun. The gray with red accent is a military combination in the most precise sense of the term — functional, recognizable, without excess. Made in Italy, with 316L stainless steel buckle and loops.
Unlike traditional NATO straps, the Single Pass does not lift the watch off the wrist: the buckle remains centered under the wrist, and the profile stays contained. No excess strap tail sticking out — the sliding keeper collects it and keeps everything tidy.

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.
