What Makes the Ribbed Single-Pass Strap Unique?

At the heart of the Ribbed Single-Pass strap is its simplicity. The single-pass construction, where the strap passes through the lugs and underneath the watch, ensures a secure fit while maintaining a slim profile. This design eliminates excess bulk, perfect for those who prefer a minimalist feel on the wrist. The ribbed pattern, made from a 1.3mm military-style weave, adds just the right amount of texture and visual interest, providing a durable, rugged aesthetic.

The addition of one fixed keeper and one sliding stainless steel keeper allows you to adjust the strap for the ideal fit, ensuring comfort throughout the day. With 19 different colors to choose from, you’re bound to find a strap that not only complements your watch but also suits your personal style.
