Alex, the founder of British strapmaker Haveston, is fueled by a passion for horology and history. Throughout Haveston's varied and growing portfolio, its designs are defined by a focus on the honest utilitarian character of vintage military industrial equipment used by service personnel for aviation, space exploration, combat and other purposes.

If Haveston's commitment to continuous refinement and innovation is any indication, we can expect much more from the company -- with one underlying idea. According to Alex: "At the end of the day, it always comes back to that service-driven purpose, regardless of whether that is to your community, family, or the world. Having a little reminder of that on your wrist is quite special."

Part of the Service series of nylon straps and an original Haveston pattern design named after the Sector organization system of aerial defense in the Battle of Britain, this model references the greys and greens of the 1941 British RAF fighter Sea Scheme camouflage used on Spitfire fighter planes.

The A2 version features a single-pass layout for a streamlined wearing profile and reduced "off-wrist" height. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the tail.

Material:

  • Robust 1.3mm heavy-weave polyamide that retains its shape.
  • "Enhanced" version has a reinforced look and construction, including fortified setting holes and strap tail (see photos). See Size dropdown for availability.
  • Brushed or polished stainless steel buckle.

Sizing:

  • Available in 20mm and 22mm.
  • 270mm (10-5/8") long, excluding buckle.
  • Fits wrists 145mm - 225mm (6" - 8-1/2").

Includes:

  • One free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel spring bars.
FAQ

Q: Do you sell watch bands for women?
A: We do! Many of our short-length straps are the perfect size for women.

A: Unfortunately, because the range is so vast (and personal taste is subjective), we cannot advise regarding aesthetic suitability for specific models and styles of watches.

A: Sure! Our handy Apple watch band adapters accommodate most 22mm straps.

Q: Are spring bars available?
A: Yes, for each strap that is not already integrated with quick-release spring bars, we include one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel bars.

Q: What strap size do I need?
A: To determine your size, use a metric ruler to measure the internal distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.

Q: My Bonetto Cinturini deployant strap is too long. Can you help me shorten it?
A: Of course! See our Bonetto Cinturini sizing guide for cutting instructions.

Great quality and design

Appreciate the fine quality and design of this watch strap. for my Nite tritium watch from England. While it is apparently a tough build, it is extremely comfortable to wear. It lacks the second strap layer that passes under the watch to create a layer between your skin and the watch pins like a typical Nato strap design, however, it still provides the desired security should one of the pins/spring bars fail. It was just long enough for my wrist, so it may not fit some with larger wrists. Appreciated the fast shipping and great communication when I needed to modify my order.

Quality packaging, material, and feel on the wrist

Let's start with the packaging - Haveston understands that unpacking your new strap is an important part of the experience and can add to the feeling that you purchased a quality product.

The strap itself is well made, has just the right length (I find many NATOs too long), and wears well on the wrist. All in all a fun summer strap - can recommend.

Haveston General Service Nato's

I'm used to buying my Nato straps on Amazon because to be honest I hate spending a lot of money on straps. With that being said, you do get what you pay for on there! The straps are generally very low quality. I did some research and fell in love with these Haveston General Service Natos l, but I didn't want to wait weeks on end to get these shipped from Haveston who are located in England.

Thankfully Holbens carried these and I got them in about two business days! The price is fairly steep at $40 for two straps, but the quality and looks are amazing!! Hands down worth the price! Thanks Holbens for being one of (if not the the only) U.S. merchant to carry this line!

Good not great for larger wrist

Very nice construction and materials. I am realizing the single pass "nato" design is not my favorite and I wish the strap were a little longer. It is also not the best for watch cases with prominent curved lugs like the Hamilton Field Khaki as shown on.

Good not great for larger wrist

Pretty nice quality. First single pass"nato" and I like it, just do not love it. Wish it were slightly longer. That aside, appears to be very well made with smooth weave and decent hardware. The search still continues for my grail strap option. Will still wear it though and it compliments a wide range of watches. Glycine combat sub 42 for reference...

Best Nato on the Market

When I first got into this hobby I was obsessed with rubber and leather straps. I slowly worked my way up to bracelets and then of course transitioned to nato as well. I've purchased nato straps from other companies but none of them hold a candle to the quality and detail that Haveston offers. The buckle polishing is especially nice with a beautiful logo mark inscribed on it. The look and feel of this strap is so good I ordered a second one that has yet to be received. I'm especially taken with the single pass design of their straps as it allows the watch to fit more snug to the wrist. I highly recommend this brand!

P.S. In receiving this strap I was immediately surprised by the quality and design of the packaging. Being a designer means I could geek out all day on good packaging and Haveston has completely knocked it outta the park.

Love the color and super comfortable

Awesome color to go with my Khaki field auto. The strap is way more comfortable than the typical NATO nylon. Highly recommended. Arrived today, so can’t write about durability just yet.
