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."
Haveston's Parade series of nylon straps, shown here in Black No. 1, is designed to complement your tool watch in its dressier roles. The collection showcases versatile classic tones and ultrafine weave webbing with a smooth and flexible feel. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the strap tail. The Parade series retains a NATO-style extended underlayer for enhanced watch case retention and a more robust profile on the wrist. This piece is easily removed if you prefer a single-pass configuration.
Such a glorious strap! I love the colour and the nylon, it looks great on my King Turtle! Perfect!
I have been really impressed with Haveston Parade strap and have many of them. The description suggests that they are a bit dressier and I think that "refined" is a good description. They are a bit shinier and smooth textured, so that they go well with a variety of watches. I bought this for a fully brushed Railmaster, and I think it looks better than a ribbed or highly textured NATO.
Fantastic straps. The colors are very upscale and nylon very soft. The moveable keeper is cool because you don't have to fold the tail back in.
Getting more!
I was surprised how soft and thin this strap is. My previous pass-through was much thicker and not nearly as comfortable. Absolutely disappears on my wrist with my Seiko SARB035! I really like the color (Sea Blue) and the buckle and keepers are very shiny, making this strap less utilitarian than its form suggests.
My fifth purchase of the parade series straps doesn't disappoint, as expected. These straps have a superfine weave making them durable and classy. The sheen to the polymide material dresses them up without making them dressy and with the color choices, they stand out. The hardware is nicely finished and is by no means "run of the mill". If they added even more colors, I'd purchase more. The sea blue and insignia blue are always getting wrist time on Breitling, BALL and Seiko watches with black faces but they'll go with more dials than you might expect. Try a Haveston Parade strap, you'll love it!
This sea blue Parade strap is a beautiful match for my blue Citizen NY0040-17L, and it's more comfortable than any other NATO-style strap I've ever worn. Well done, Haveston.
Purchased for my Marathon Navigator. The supplied strap just wasn’t working for me. The quality is superb and the color matches well to the timepiece. The strap is also quite comfortable. Plus, as per usual, Holben’s shipping speed and professionalism is surpassed by NO other strap supplier!
This a wonderful, high quality, extremely comfortable all day watch band. Fits well, Looks great, and holds a Glycine Combat Sub rock steady. Classic color. Can dress it up or down. Already ordered another one.
