Built for adventure and designed with versatility in mind, the Atlas is the ultimate do-it-all strap. Whether you’re heading into the office, the outdoors, or underwater, this is a strap that rises to every occasion.


Made from high-performance sailcloth material and available in five classic colours, the Atlas pairs beautifully with everything from tool watches to everyday beaters. It’s waterproof, easy to fit thanks to quick-release spring bars, and comes with a solid stainless-steel buckle for that extra touch of refinement.

Why We Love the Atlas Sailcloth Strap

The Atlas isn’t just another strap—it’s a perfect blend of style, function, and durability. Here’s why it stands out:

  • Waterproof and adventure-ready

  • Comfortable, lightweight feel on the wrist

  • Quick-release spring bars for easy swapping

  • Durable sailcloth material with timeless texture

  • Solid brushed stainless-steel buckle with subtle branding

  • Versatile colours to suit any watch or occasion

It’s this winning combination that makes the Atlas a go-to strap for so many watch enthusiasts.


And while it’s inspired by the demands of divers, this strap proves just as stylish on chronographs, field watches, and more. Scroll down to see some of our favourite pairings and discover why the Atlas might just be the only strap your watch needs.

The black Atlas Sailcloth Strap is a natural match for the Omega Speedmaster. Its matte finish and subtle texture echo the tool-watch spirit of the Moonwatch, while the crisp stitching and brushed hardware add just the right amount of refinement. Rugged yet understated, the black sailcloth enhances the Speedmaster’s iconic design without stealing the spotlight—perfect for everyday wear or more adventurous outings.

Tudor Black Bay

The Atlas Sailcloth Strap feels like it was made for the Tudor Black Bay range. Whether it’s the compact elegance of the BB54, the vintage-inspired BB58, or the sportier Black Bay GMT, each model pairs effortlessly with every colour in the Atlas lineup. From classic black to bold blue or stealthy grey, there's not a single strap in the range that doesn’t complement the Black Bay’s rugged charm and retro-modern aesthetic. It’s a perfect case of strap and watch elevating each other.

TAG Heuer Monaco

The bold, angular design of the TAG Heuer Monaco finds an ideal partner in the blue Atlas Sailcloth Strap. The deep navy tone picks up the rich hues of the Monaco’s dial, while the textured finish adds a sporty edge that complements the watch’s racing pedigree. It’s a pairing that feels both daring and deliberate—bringing out the Monaco’s character without overwhelming its iconic square silhouette.

Heuer Autavia

Speaking of TAG, if vintage is more your thing, we paired a classic Heuer Autavia with the beige Atlas Sailcloth Strap—and the result is effortlessly cool. The warm, sandy tone of the strap highlights the vintage charm of the Autavia’s dial and lume, while the sailcloth material adds a subtle ruggedness that still feels true to the watch’s motorsport and aviation roots. It’s a pairing that feels laid-back, lived-in, and totally authentic.

Christopher Ward Dune

The Beige Atlas looks just as good with a blue dial watch too—we paired it with the Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian GMT, and the contrast is spot on. The soft, sandy strap brings out the richness of the blue dial and ties in beautifully with the watch’s vintage-inspired tones. It’s an easygoing yet refined combination that feels ready for summer adventures, weekend getaways, or just adding a touch of casual elegance to your everyday rotation.

Pairing the Hamilton Khaki Aviation with the green Atlas Sailcloth Strap is a nod to the watch’s military heritage and rugged field watch origins. The deep olive tone feels right at home alongside the utilitarian dial and brushed case, enhancing its toolish charm without overdoing it. It’s a grounded, practical look that feels authentic—like the kind of strap the Khaki was always meant to wear.

Longines Spirit

Just because the Atlas isn’t made of leather doesn’t mean it can’t look the part. When paired with the Longines Spirit, the strap’s clean lines and subtle texture bring out the watch’s more refined, dressy side. It’s a great example of how sailcloth can balance functionality with elegance—offering a polished, everyday look without sacrificing the performance and durability you'd expect from a modern strap.
