The Marine Nationale strap originated in the 1960s, developed by French naval divers who needed a reliable way to secure their watches on and under their wetsuits.

Since then, these straps have become both a fashionable and practical way to customize your watch. They offer an extremely comfortable and highly adjustable fit, making them easy to install and change as needed. Unlike a NATO strap, the Marine Nationale strap is a closed loop installed under the watch pins. What I love most is the convenience of being able to simply pick up your watch and effortlessly slip on your wrist. It just works!  It also gives a watch a lower wrist profile due to the single pass strap.

Please note that single pass straps are not suitable for smart watches equipped with an optical heart rate monitor as it will block the sensor.

The watch and strap photos are my own, having installed them other sc year ago, they have held up well with regular use.

Not suitable for watches with fixed pins as you need to remove the pins in order to fit the strap.
