The Story

In 1973, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) needed a watch strap for military personnel that could endure combat conditions. The goal was to create a strap that could withstand tropical humidity that often wreaked havoc on leather watch straps and prevent spring bar failures that caused watches to be lost or broken.

How We Improved the Design

We refined the original design, enhancing strength and durability with a sewn construction. We replaced chrome-plated brass with solid stainless steel hardware for resilience and longevity. The space between keepers was increased to fit larger watch cases. Additionally, we extended the strap length to 300mm to accommodate various wrist sizes and provide extra security by folding the strap tail back through the keepers.

Introducing the APEX Nylon Collection:

Apex Nylon Material:
The Apex is made from 100% polyester material, ensuring exceptional durability. It is long-lasting and environmentally friendly, reflecting our commitment to quality and sustainability.

Innovative Production Techniques:
Cutting-edge production techniques, including high-temperature and high-pressure dyeing, as well as filament twisting, to create the Apex nylon material. These methods result in vibrant, fade-resistant colours that maintain their brilliance over time.

Precision Weaving:
Advanced high-power shuttle looms, combined with premium yarn technology and special pattern threading techniques, produce a thick and dense ribbon. This ribbon boasts a luxurious feel, akin to pure cotton, offering a skin-friendly and warm sensation that sets the Apex nylon watch strap apart

Good buy
Color: A-Green Luminous
OK, This is a inexpensive watch. I bought this watch as an every day work watch not a dress watch. I have worn it for several months and this is what I have experienced. It is comfortable to wear. It is lite and compact. The strap is comfortable and durable. I have gotten it wet and it has not been effected. When I got it I synchronized it with an atomic clock, it has kept perfect time. I have read other reviews that stated it did not keep good time, this has not been my experience. The dial is easy to read even in low light. the fact that other buyers have had some issues leads me to believe the manufacture my have lacks quality control. Over all, for $20 I have found it to be a good value. I would have given it 5 stars; but battery life remains to be seen.

Perfect casual Friday shoe with great comfort and style
Size: 10, Color: Optic White/Egret
These have quickly become my go-to shoes for casual Fridays at work. The fit is true to size, and they’re both comfortable and stylish without trying too hard. They pair really well with jeans or khakis, so they’re easy to dress up or down depending on the day.
