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.
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.
