A Nod to the 3-Ring Strap Tradition

The 3-Ring strap has a storied history among watch enthusiasts and military personnel. Developed in the 1970s, it was inspired by the Military-Style strap but with key differences. Known for its robust construction and secure fit, the 3-Ring strap became a favorite for those needing reliability and strength in demanding conditions. Its design featured thicker nylon and sturdy hardware, making it suitable for field use and capable of withstanding harsh environments.

Originally intended for military applications, the 3-Ring strap was quickly adopted by adventurers and watch enthusiasts for its durability and practical design. The thicker nylon provided added strength, while the larger, rounded hardware offered increased reliability over traditional watch straps. The Alpha3 pays homage to this tradition while introducing modern enhancements for today's adventurers. Learn more about the 3-Ring strap here.

Built to Endure

Heavy-Duty Hardware

The Alpha3 is equipped with robust steel ring buckles and keepers, double-stitched onto the strap. This ensures a construction that won't fail, no matter the challenges you face. Designed for durability and strength, the hardware is a key component in making the Alpha3 the most reliable and rugged strap in our collection.

High-Tensile Nylon

The Alpha3 is crafted from our AlphaShark nylon, featuring 1.4mm thick high tensile strength "seat belt" webbing. This material not only provides exceptional durability but also ensures comfort against your wrist. Its high tensile strength guarantees that the strap can handle the toughest conditions, making it ideal for any adventure you embark on.

Reinforced Double Stitching

To enhance durability, the Alpha3 features double stitching around the buckle and keepers. This reinforcement provides added strength and ensures that the hardware remains securely attached to the strap. The meticulous stitching process contributes to the overall resilience of the Alpha3, making it a strap you can rely on in any situation.

Metal-Reinforced Adjustment Holes

Our design includes metal-reinforced strap holes, providing a durable connection and preventing wear and tear over time. This feature enhances the strap's longevity, making it our most rugged and durable option yet. Whether you're hiking through rugged terrain, diving into the depths, or simply navigating daily life, the Alpha3 is ready to accompany you on your journey.
