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 Parade series of nylon straps, shown here in Olive Drab No. 7 (based on the 1940s OD #7 field green shade), is designed to complement your tool watch in its dressier roles. The collection showcases versatile classic tones and ultrafine weave webbing with a smooth and flexible feel. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the strap tail. The Parade series retains a NATO-style extended underlayer for enhanced watch case retention and a more robust profile on the wrist. This piece is easily removed if you prefer a single-pass configuration.
