Details and Specifications
Black with Blue Stripe Parachute Strap (No-Pass) in 20mm / 22mm
Inspired by the original Marine Nationale (MN) straps used by French Navy divers in the 1960s and '70s, our elastic parachute watch strap brings one of horology's most iconic utility designs into everyday wear, with a modern update.
What makes this a "No-Pass" strap? Traditional MN-style parachute straps loop beneath the watch case, adding height and bulk on the wrist. Our no-pass design eliminates that extra layer. The strap sits directly against your wrist for a lower profile, cleaner look, and noticeably more comfortable fit, particularly on thinner-cased divers or sport watches.
Construction & hardware Each strap uses classic parachute elastic webbing, the same material that defined the original French Navy strap, finished in Black with Blue Stripe.
Brushed steel hardware keeps things understated. The sliding steel keeper adjusts effortlessly, letting you dial in the exact fit without tools. A hook-and-loop closure locks the strap securely without fuss.
Who it fits Available in 20mm and 22mm lug widths. Fits wrists from approximately 6.5–8.5 inches (16.5–21.5 cm). Compatible with a wide range of watches including:
- Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch (Mercury, Moon, and others)
- Tudor Submariner and Black Bay
- Seiko SKX, Prospex, and 5 Sports series
- Omega Seamaster 300m and Planet Ocean
- Any watch with classic 20mm or 22mm lug spacing
Why parachute straps? The elastic nature of the MN strap style means it flexes naturally with wrist movement, no pressure points, no stiffness, and no breaking-in period. It's lightweight, breathable, and fully water-resistant. Rinse it in fresh water after the ocean and it dries in minutes. It's the ideal warm-weather and all-conditions daily strap.
Lightweight, breathable, and fast-drying, it’s built for daily wear and repeated pool or ocean use. Available in 20mm and 22mm. Each strap includes two spring bars for easy installation.
Bottom line: a clean, low-profile parachute strap that wears comfortably all day, from desk to water.
No-Pass Construction
This strap uses a No-Pass, single-layer design. Unlike traditional pass-through straps, no material runs beneath the watch case. This reduces bulk, improves balance, and allows the watch to sit closer to the wrist—feedback that directly shaped this design.
“Blue stripe pops on black. No-pass keeps it sleek. Dries fast after the water.”
— Stan T.
