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."
A lesser-known but historically significant pattern featuring a combination of unique subdued blue, grey and drab brown shades, Haveston's BRG strap is based on the cold war-era urban camouflage known as Berlin Brigade camo.
The Berlin Brigade was established in 1982 by the British 4th/7th Royal Dragoon Guards tank squadron in Berlin, after the traditional olive drab camo color was found to be incompatible with the built environment. Used on vehicles in developed areas, the dispersed, scaled-up digital pattern was designed to merge with surrounding buildings, windows and doorways where right angles are prevalent.
Haveston's BR-82 pattern is printed on premium FKM fluoro-rubber. FKM rubber provides a rugged and practical strap base that (unlike lower-grade rubbers) does not attract dust or debris. The two-piece layout is equipped with Haveston's signature hexagonal brushed stainless steel buckle, as well as convenient quick-release spring bars for fast and simple installation.
