Military Watch Straps: Function, History, and Design

The term military watch strap is often used to describe any one-piece strap, but in reality there is a wide range of designs, each originating from different military branches and countries. Ground forces traditionally relied on the NATO strap (or its U.S. equivalent), aircrew commonly used the Bund strap, and divers generally wore standard NATO straps. However, in some navies—most notably the French Navy—divers adopted a highly specialised design known as the Parachute Elastic Strap, often referred to as the Marine Nationale strap.

All military straps share the same fundamental purpose: practical, necessity-driven design. The Parachute Elastic Strap was first seen on Tudor watches but also appeared on ELVIA and various other watches issued to French military personnel.


Origins of the Parachute Elastic Strap

The Parachute Elastic Strap dates back to the 1950s. Some divers used Perlon straps made from woven nylon fibres, while others ingeniously repurposed elastic webbing taken from reserve parachute harnesses. These elastic straps—commonly khaki-green with a yellow stripe, though produced in several colours—proved flexible, resilient, and comfortable, particularly when worn over a wetsuit.

Because they were made from issued materials, they were also a practical and economical solution for military divers.


Premium Parachute Elastic Straps

Our Parachute Elastic Straps replicate the material and appearance of the original Marine Nationale design, but are fitted with heavy-duty NATO-style buckles for improved durability. They are ideal for warm-weather wear and pair perfectly with dive watches or other military watches such as the G10.

Manufactured from high-quality woven elastic, the material is both soft and extremely strong. Each strap is fitted with brushed stainless-steel hardware.


Advantages of Parachute Elastic Straps

Exceptional Comfort
Many users consider this the most comfortable strap available, as it naturally conforms to the wrist.

Sweat and Odour Resistant
The elastic material wicks away moisture quickly and does not retain odours.

Washable
The strap can simply be removed, washed, and refitted.

Fully Adjustable Fit
It offers virtually infinite adjustment, allowing either a snug or relaxed fit.

Secure Hold
Once fastened, the strap remains stable and prevents the watch from rotating or shifting on the wrist.

Cost-Effective
An easy and affordable way to refresh the appearance of your watch while improving wearability.

Stains easily. Tight for men's size 11 feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs, Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
Husband wore dark cotton socks over these gel foot covers overnight and the covers picked up color from the socks. Tried hand washing, even dabbing with a bleach soaked paper towel, but the stains remained. The covers are a bit tight for men's size 11. Edit: After a few more hand washings the stains began to fade. However one tore around the leg opening when taking it off.

Worthless. Tore on first use.
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
The first time I put these on my feet, the whole toe broke right through. They were a proper fit and my feet are well pedicured. Just very poor quality. I don’t recommend.
