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."
AAF, an original Haveston product design, incorporates both ground and air (Army and Air Force) design elements. Authentic vintage aviation features include a tapered woven nylon body, reinforced hole settings, distinctive 6mm engraved rivets and a bead-blasted aviator roller buckle. Updated with handy quick-release spring bars, the two-piece layout accommodates a range of wrist and case (lug to lug) sizes.
AAF Black has a versatile matte black exterior with a soft, neutral grey lining.
Haveston canvas strap is very supple and comfortable out of the box. Looks amazing as replacement on field/pilot style watches factory equipped with canvas straps.
Great quality, nice hardware, and a good pairing with many brushed or bead-blasted field watches, like this vintage-styled Ali Express chrono that's found favor in many online reviews lately. This lifts the watch quite a bit above its humble origins.
I have it on a field watch not a pilots watch and it looks badass.
The color is called sea grey, but it looks like something in between of green and blue which I have never seen before, so it's very special. The color is very pop and should be great for summer. The band doesn't need much time to break in and is relatively comfortable. The strap is pretty long though and I hope there is a shorter version for smaller wrists.
Overall happy with this strap. Didn’t take too long to break in and is comfortable to wear. My only gripe is that it is quite long and I have to use the 2nd to the last hole to secure it and that leaves excess material
