Our Braemore straps are expertly woven for durability, strength and style. The Braemore watch strap is the perfect blend of comfort and strength. As a strap it is incredibly hardwearing and tough, you'll certainly not have to worry about keeping your watch secure whilst out exploring.
Available in four different colours this strap has the appearance of the classic military style but with the added comfort of the cotton canvas material. Enjoy our Braemore watch strap, in a range of military colours - marine blue, army green, national brown and space force grey, giving it a combat-ready military feel, or appealing neutrality in other day-to-day contexts.
With a length of 280mm the Braemore is shorter than a standard military watch strap. The strap length can be adjusted to fit any wrist size from 6.2 inches to 9.6 inches (16cm to 24.5cm).

About The British Military Watch Strap
Created 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. This design was 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, the strap will ensure your watch doesn’t fall off your wrist if a spring bar fails.
