The WatchGecko Ridge design offers a chance to give your watch a classic vintage look. This premium strap has a subtle ribbed texture to the nylon that is similar to old-fashioned military webbing. Just like military webbing, the 1.2mm thick nylon is incredibly tough and hardwearing. You’ll certainly not have to worry about keeping your watch secure whilst out exploring.

The buckle and keepers are fashioned from stainless steel, and the keeper nearest the buckle is floating so that you can adjust it to suit the amount of excess nylon you have.

With a length of 285mm this strap will fit any wrist size from 6 inches to 9 inches (15.25cm to 22.86cm).

If you are looking for a tough strap, with a touch of retro charm, look no further than the WatchGecko Ridge nylon strap.

About The British Military Watch Strap

Designed to stand up to the rigours of active military service, and as it’s made from durable nylon it can keep your watch secure in some of the harshest environments in the world. First created in 1973 for the British Ministry of Defence, the key reason for its creation was the security it offers. Thanks to its one-piece construction, this strap will ensure your watch doesn’t fall off your wrist if a spring bar fails.

Classic Vintage Aesthetic

The Ridge strap takes its design inspiration directly from traditional military webbing used in the mid-20th century, with a ribbed nylon weave that creates a strong sense of character and authenticity. This classic texture not only adds depth and visual interest to your watch but also subtly nods to the rugged reliability of vintage equipment.

Whether paired with a modern diver, a field watch, or a minimalist dress piece, the Ridge introduces an understated retro charm that elevates your look without overwhelming it. Offering the kind of design detail that feels timeless - anchoring your watch in history while keeping it perfectly relevant today.

Durable & Water Resistant

Engineered for active lifestyles, the Ridge strap is built to perform wherever life takes you. Its high-quality woven nylon construction makes it strong enough to resist daily wear and tear, while the water-resistant properties ensure it can handle sweat, rain, or a dip in the sea without missing a beat.

Unlike leather or more delicate strap materials, this strap is quick-drying and easy to care for, meaning it’s as practical on a summer hike as it is on your daily commute. Over time, it maintains its structure, comfort, and reliability - giving you a strap that’s truly designed for longevity in all conditions.

Stainless Steel Buckle & Keepers

Every Ridge strap is finished with robust stainless-steel hardware that perfectly complements its tough nylon build. The brushed steel buckle is designed for strength and ease of use, ensuring your watch remains secure throughout the day.

Matching steel keepers - including a floating keeper - add flexibility, allowing you to neatly tuck away any excess strap for a clean, tailored look. These subtle touches demonstrate the attention to detail in the Ridge’s design: not only is the hardware built to last, but it also adds a refined edge that enhances the overall appearance of your watch.

Secure One-Piece Construction

Unlike traditional two-piece straps, the Ridge uses a continuous one-piece design that threads beneath your watch case. This ensures that even if one spring bar fails, your watch will remain securely attached to your wrist.

For anyone who values peace of mind - whether you’re outdoors, travelling, or simply wearing a cherished timepiece - this design feature offers extra reassurance. The one-piece construction also makes it quick and easy to swap straps without tools, so you can change your watch’s look in seconds. Security and convenience are seamlessly built into the Ridge’s DNA.

Fade & Fray Resistant

The Ridge is made from tightly woven nylon chosen for its ability to resist the common signs of wear. Over time, lesser straps can fade in the sun, fray at the edges, or lose their original structure. The Ridge, by contrast, is designed to stay looking smart for longer, maintaining its colour vibrancy and crisp weave even after months of regular use.

This durability means you’re not just investing in style, but in a strap that will continue to perform season after season. Whether you opt for a neutral tone or a bold colourway, you can be confident your strap will keep its fresh, purposeful look.
