Handcrafted Straps
Eco NATO Strap — Brown Red Stitching
Recycled polyester, sewn in Italy. It's not a compromise — it's a deliberate choice.
The eco-friendly military nylon strap is made from 100% recycled yarns, processed with the same care reserved for noble materials. The weave is compact, resistant, and free of sagging. The red stitching on the brown background is not a decorative detail: it is a sign of craftsmanship that doesn't hide.
The military nylon strap pairs well with watches with a straightforward character — tool watches, field watches, any case that doesn't need embellishments. The slim 1.5mm thickness also makes it compatible under a cuff. The 316L steel buckle and rings resist moisture and daily use without yielding.
Chromatic variations between individual pieces reflect the nature of the recycled materials used. It's not a defect — it's a trace of origin.

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 for this strap?
I have two widths: 20mm and 22mm. The buckle is in stainless steel on both. Please let me know your wrist size and we can check together which one fits your watch.
Can I get it wet?
Yes, without any issue. The material is Newlife® recycled polyester, made from plastic bottles, with a Made in Italy supply chain. It holds up well against water and sweat.
Will the brown colour be identical to what I see in the photo?
There may be slight colour variations from one piece to another. This comes from the nature of the recycled material. It's not a defect, it's part of the piece's character.
Is it thin enough to fit under a shirt cuff?
The thickness is 1.5mm. It sits well under a shirt cuff, without adding bulk.
Can the buckle withstand daily use?
The pin buckle and the keepers are in 316L stainless steel. They hold up well against moisture and everyday use.
