If you have a very thick strap, you may need to place the strap in place with the spring bars off initially.

DISCOUNTS FOR MULTI STRAP PURCHASES APPLIED AT CHECK AUTOMATICALLYAll Military style Straps are not built the same. Our Premium Military style straps are some of the highest quality straps available on the market as a result of upgraded materials and build quality.We use a denser nylon weave which means the 1.4mm thick fabric is stronger and has a silkier finish for added comfort and as well as luxurious lucent like finish. As well as upgrading the fabric we use a 600D nylon thread for stitching which is stronger and less prone to snags and the buckles are secured with double stitching unlike cheaper alternatives.Finally we have upgraded the hardware: We use a brushed 316L Marine grade stainless steel in a brushed finish for low reflection. The keepers are milled from one piece of steel and the buckles are 3.24mm thick as opposed to the standard 2.6mm on Military style classics which again means additional strength and added durability.Changing your watch strap brings many benefits: Whether you are looking for an aesthetic refresh for your favourite watch, or you want to complement your wardrobe with a fresh colour or style. There’s no doubting the added bonus of bringing new comfort and resilience to your watch by upgrading to one of our Premium Military style watch straps.If you are putting your tool, dive or aviator watch under extreme conditions there’s additional peace of mind from wearing a Premium Military style strap in case of a spring bar failure.If you are considering the upgrade from a Military style Classic the differences are clear: The Premium Military style Strap is thicker, more durable and softer to wear and the lucent like sheen is complementary to any fine watch. With a length of 285mm the Premium Military style will fit any wrist from 6-9 inches Available in 18mm, 20mm and 22mm when stock is available Comes with our no nonsense delight and perfect fit promise- 30 days no hassle returns.
