watchband styling
each Motif or design fits a specific purpose:
CROC EMBOSSED
This is one of the standard patterns for dress watches.
RALLY
With large holes near the lugs, the strap is intended for racers.
DOUBLE RIDGES
A very subtle pair of ridges on the strap adds a sporty nuance to the watch.
CONTRAST STITCHING
Bold-colored stitches along the edges of a leather strap add a unique touch.
PILOT
Pilot straps are simple leather straps with a pair of rivets near the lugs to ensure a firm grip.
NATO
Popularized by the Royal Air Force in the 1970s, NATO or G10 refers to the styling of fabric straps with buckles and keepers to ensure a firm grip. Nylon is often used for NATO straps. Meanwhile, ZULU is actually a brand that sells NATO straps with a thicker band (sometimes leather) and rounded hardware.
