Haveston IVA NAVY 66 Hook Loop Watch Strap - Holben's Fine Watch Bands

Haveston IVA Series NAVY-66 Watch Strap

$29.00

From Haveston, a company based in London, United Kingdom.
Inspired by NAVY 66, the U.S. Navy Sea King helicopter that performed water recovery of astronauts from returning command modules after splashdown on Apollo missions 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13.
In addition to the Navy designation the strap features the five command module markings used to represent each recovery, also found on the helicopter hull.
Sea blue nylon exterior with black hook-and-loop lining and white markings.
Full-length webbing lining provides uniform structure and support.
High-grip rubber locking keeper ensures secure closure (spare also included).
One-piece configuration provides security in the event of spring bar failure.
Robust stainless steel bead blasted hoop buckle makes this strap a highly secure mission tool.
Shorter than traditional externally mounted EVA straps; engineered for enhanced functionality, comfort and aesthetics.
Utilitarian construction lends itself to a variety of lunar, pilot and dive tool watch styles.
Double layers along with hook-and-loop configuration create a higher side profile than other Haveston straps.
Watches with limited spring-bar-to-case clearance: install bars over strap, or consider curved bars. Do not force strap through bars. Doing so may compromise strap, bars or case.
1.6mm - 2.5mm thick.
290mm (11-3/8") long, excluding buckle.
Fits wrists 160mm - 210mm (6-3/8" - 8-1/4").
To determine size, measure the distance (in millimeters) between the lugs of your watch.
Includes one free pair of strong, seamless double-flange stainless steel spring bars.

Unique AND awesome

Not all unique things are awesome, but thankfully this is both. Haven't seen a strap made like this before, and I'm glad it looks great and is also comfortable. Also, thank god, it doesn't have the "melted itchy stitching" feel that a lot of nylon straps have. Feel smooth against my skin. Will be getting it in the other colors soon!
