NATO and two-piece nylon: colour, grit, and a strap that dries in minutes.
Nylon watch straps feel lightweight, soft and highly flexible on the wrist, making them comfortable for daily active wear. This breathable synthetic material resists water, sweat and dirt, and it does not rot or degrade over time. To care for your strap, simply rinse it with mild soap and warm water, then allow it to air dry naturally. These durable straps suit sports, military, field and dive watches, providing a secure and utilitarian style.
At straps01, we provide a wide range of options to help you find the right fit. We offer these straps in several sizes, with common choices being 18mm, 20mm and 22mm widths. Many options in our collection feature quick-release spring bars. This mechanism allows you to change your strap in seconds without using any specialist tools.
To choose the correct width, measure the gap between your watch lugs in millimetres. We stock straps in widths of 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 21mm and 22mm. Choosing the exact lug width ensures a secure fit without any gaps.
