Been a big fan of the Haveston Parade Series and I'm slowly collecting them all. Hull Grey color looks slick on my IWC. By far the most comfortable and classy NATO style straps I've found without venturing to a ridiculous price point. Would like to see more single pass options from Haveston.
I have had some experience with Haveston and knew what I would be getting and the product never disappoints. Very comfortable and way classier-looking than your typical NATO. I only wish more variants were available in single-pass like the green, I don't love having to modify the strap myself by cutting off the double pass but it's worth it for the result.
Great fit, easy install. Well made and will last a long time on my Luminox
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.
Not only is the mounting unique and variable, but the material is also both silky soft yet tough. I really enjoy wearing this strap and have 2 now for different watches. Superior product.
A wonderful strap, smooth and mighty comfortable with an interesting method of fastening. Though thin, not too so, it’s well woven and it’s tensile strength I’m sure is more than adequate. By way of recommendation I just ordered another.
Very happy with the strap. Material is very soft and light weight, comfortable even when worn snug to the wrist. Quality is on par with OEM straps from Omega or Tudor.
I am amazed by the quality of this haveston nato strap. I buy straps regularly and like to switch them for different occasions. I have so many natos and singles and any kind of straps from many companies but honestly I am very pleased and impressed by the high quality of this. I know it is a little bit pricey for a nato strap but with this silky appearance, this strap is something different . I purchased this specifically for my Breitling superocean II 42 mm, and should say it is little bit thick to slide under the pins but it is just as good as something produced for this watch . I am very happy about this purchase and will get other colors for my other watches as well. Holbens customer service is phenomenal as well and shipping is free and Owners are very special people . I am addicted to Holbens what can I say. I also posted a photo at snupps.com to show my new strap to my watch enthusiasts. They don't like cheap items and they all amazed about this and of course Holbens as well.
I have 3 of their straps... it's unfair to compare to other nylon straps, 10 hour shifts in a medical facility and I won't notice it. Very silky and nice with my seiko 5, hamilton khaki king and seiko alpinist. Highly recommend.
Haveston Parade Strap, Insignia Blue is a luxury strap. It’s thin, silky soft, radiant, and comfortable. The ultra smooth texture compliments fine timepieces and gives the watch a dressed up look. I like the way this strap compliments my Rolex Submariner.
Although the strap is nice, I think it would have been much better if the strap was thicker. At present, the end of strap easily slips out of the end retainer while wearing the strap.
An excellent strap & fine service.
The Haveston parade nylon straps are in my top 3 nylon straps for watches that I’ve owned and experienced. They are very comfortable and good looking. They can easily change the way a watch wears on your wrist and elevate how it looks. I highly recommend this strap to anyone looking to try a new strap for their watch.

First time purchasing a NATO from Haveston and I have to say, really impressed with the quality. Strap is extremely soft and comfortable and the option to select polished or brushed hardware is a nice touch. NATO is beautifully packaged and only adds to the premium feel of the band. For ~$29, it's really hard to beat this NATO. Will definitely purchase again!
I ordered this strap after watching several glowing YouTube reviews. The strap has a premium seatbelt-like feel that is smooth to the touch. The sea blue color looks amazing and pairs well with my blue dialed Visodate. I’m generally not a fan of NATO straps, but this one clearly differentiates itself from the cheaply made run of the mill straps from other manufacturers. As always, quick shipping by Mike is always appreciated.
