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 Bakelite-F canvas strap, in deep vintage brown with matching stitching, is inspired by the pioneering Bakelite material synonymous with vintage 1940s design and its wartime use in grips, receivers, typewriters and bezels. It features a comfortable, low-profile A2 single pass strap configuration, and a floating keeper for easy and secure stowing of the period-appropriate chevron tail.

Lug/Buckle Taper Many straps taper in width toward the buckle. This is an important measurement if you plan to swap out the buckle or add a deployant clasp. Your buckle size matches the width at the BUCKLE end of the strap, not the lug end.

This is my second Haveston strap actually. My first one was a Forecastle I had on a Raketa perpetual calendar I ended up selling a couple years back. Fast forward to today, I bought a 1944-C to put on my Bulova Hack to give it that old school military watch feel, and I am absolutely over the moon! It looks and feels great and really adds a lot to the overall look. I did modify the strap in changing out the original stainless buckle for the PVD coated buckle that came with my watch, but it was a perfect fit as you can see. Overall a great strap and I will definitely buy more Haveston products in the future!
I really dig this Forecastle watch on my Tudor FXD MN. A true gray color, unlike a ZDiver, the thick material is of high quality and I expect it to patina well.
So glad I found this brand and Holben's did a great job shipping it out asap. Will be buying from them again, and a Haveston going forward.
