If you are a regular ZULUDIVER follower, then you’ll need no introduction to these straps. Doubtless, you will have a fine collection which can fundamentally change the appearance of your watch. With so many contemporary designs and colours we sometimes lose sight of the humble origins of the strap which spawned the phenomenon – the cryptically titled A.F.0210. The A.F.0210. single pass canvas webbing strap which first appeared around 1944 and is now synonymous with British military equipment of World War 2. It is the archetypal military watch strap and eventually evolved in the 1970s to the G1098 we know today.
To honour the history of these military watch straps, we have created a new collection which we have titled Warrior. The new webbing was developed with inspiration from canvas fabric and is a blend of polyester and pure cotton yarn. After extensive testing, we found the perfect ratio of the materials to produce a robust fabric with a canvas look.
The WARRIOR range have all been named after famous military HQs and Academies.
