Upgrade your time machine with our signature G10 mil-strap. Made with durable yet comfortable ballistic nylon and exclusively-designed titanium hardware, it's got your 6 for any mission.
Ballistic nylon is flexible and comfortable, and our titanium buckles have zero weak points.
Plus, the secondary strap provides backup in case of spring bar failure.
Say goodbye to generic, clumsy, and cheap strap hardware.
We equipped our signature G10 mil-strap black ballistic nylon strap with bead-blasted, exclusively-designed titanium hardware. We machine each buckle from a solid chunk of titanium so that there are zero weak points. No buckle spring bar failure that drops your watch into the abyss.
This ballistic nylon material provides added flexibility and comfort, while preserving the rugged trustworthy dependability.
We make each strap with laser for precision slices that produce a clean finish. Then we sew the hardware on with matching color stitch thread. The strap has a very slight sheen that contrasts nicely.
Fact Check: This strap design is often called a "NATO-style" strap, but the original name was G10. The British Military of Defense first issued spec G1098, and soldiers requisitioned their own from the quartermaster with the easier-to-remember G10 — Now you know.
The secondary strap prevents the watch case from sliding around and secures the watch where you want it on your wrist. And if one spring bar on the watch were ever to fail, this strap provides backup so your watch doesn't fall off the strap.
The beauty of ballistic nylon is that it's self-sealing. You can trim off the tail if it's too long and use some gentle heat via lighter or stove burner to reseal the cut edge and prevent fraying.
This strap will endure constant abuse and anything you throw at it for years to come and along the way it'll acquire a unique personality based on how and where you rock it.
Did you know? DuPont originally designed ballistic nylon during World War 2 to provide lightweight defense for pilots’ and airmen flak jackets to protect against metal shards or debris from inbound munitions. The researchers developed an exceptionally tight weave, typically basket pattern in 2×2. The thread pattern produces durable construction and limited stretch in all directions.
FITS WRIST SIZES: 5.5 - 8.25 inches around.
(Pro tip: You can add more holes if needed. Measure your wrist with a piece of string.)

We equipped our signature ballistic nylon strap with bead-blasted, exclusively designed titanium hardware. We machine each buckle from a solid chunk of titanium so that there are zero weak points. No strap spring bar failure that drops your watch into the abyss.
This is an upgraded ballistic nylon material where we incorporate a tighter weave that provides added flexibility and comfort, while preserving the rugged trustworthy dependability.

The single pass strap is the simplest construction, which allows for simple installation and quick-swap functionality. This strap passes right under the watch case. It consists of one ballistic nylon strap piece with a titanium buckle and two matched keepers.
The best way to wear this is to slide your watch as close to the hardware as possible. This moves the titanium hardware closer to the case, so it sits on the outside of the wrist for improved comfort and titanium visibility, because who wants to hide their hardware on the bottom of their wrist? The excess nylon strap can be tucked right back underneath the loop closest to the watch case.
The single pass is a hybrid that optimizes the benefits of the G10 strap with a two-piece. The main benefit of a single pass vs. a two piece strap is that if the spring bar on your watch case lug fails, the watch will stay fixed to your wrist because the strap won't fail. Because it's only one layer of strap it provides the security of a G10 but sits closer to your wrist.

*cockpit not included*
With bonus black American Wickett & Craig leather, American hand made two-piece leather strap.
This is an extremely limited special edition of the COURG A-11 that we made for a squadron of Navy fliers and their crew of 29. We had a minimum order of 50 for the contract, but we still wanted to make it happen for them.
The squadron wanted some specific visual cues taken from their cockpit instrument panels and so we made these painstakingly hand painted second hands we affectionately call the "hazards."
We sold out of these long ago, but recently discovered one watch ready to fly solo. That means we have 21 17 1 left for you. We won't be making anymore of these.
COURG is a way point, which is a navigational tool used by pilots to chart their flight across the globe. Way points are composed of 5-letters and made to be spoken as a word so pilots can quickly transmit their location via radio. This particular way point stands just outside Washington, DC and as you probably guessed -- is pronounced COURAGE.
We chose COURG because courage is a character trait we could all use more of -- choosing to make the right and often difficult decisions even when we know the going will get tough.
The COURG A-11 pays tribute to the WWII American fighter pilots who strapped these timepieces to their wrists and helped lead to the Allies' victory.
When we embarked with the goal to build the perfect timepiece forged for every adventure, we turned to mission critical pilot instruments, which helped the Allied air corp and troops win World War II. We selected the time-tested and proven A-11, a classification of original American designs based on a military spec for aviator wrist watches.
The U.S. military contracted multiple American watch companies to build these watches and called this specification A-11. Three manufacturers produced hundreds of thousands of these for Allied airmen who flew countless sorties against enemy targets. Although originally designed for flight navigation, the excellent design later trickled down to ground troops.
The A-11 production standard used a hand wound 7 to 16 jewel movement. These had smooth sweep and hacking seconds. A plastic crystal covered the lumed hands. The case was 27mm dust and water resistant chromed nickel alloy/brass, in order to save stainless steel for other war purposes.
Manufacturers painted the dials black and used white numerals and markers for high contrast visibility. In addition, manufacturers were not allowed to mark the dial, thus giving the watch a clean logo-less finish.
Watchmakers made many different designs — some with minute railroad tracks (left), others with circular hour markers (center), yet others in 24-hours and with red counterbalance second hands (right).
We translated the iconic A-11 design into a classic 39mm size and implemented a date window at 4PM.
From the moment we first learned about the A-11 watches, we wanted to honor the legacy. So, we preserved all the original specs as a starting point, then upgraded the materials [titanium and sapphire], movement [24 jewel auto], standards [20ATM], and functions [rotating bezel, date].
Titanium encased. Powered by your adventures.
Built from premium materials inside and out with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which we've coated with an anti-reflective glare layer. Bead Blasted titanium grade 2, which translates to 50% lighter than a stainless steel equivalent and means more comfort on your wrist, and won't bog you down with unnecessary weight.
The uni-directional titanium bezel prevents accidental rotation, and provides rugged precision machined teeth for grip.
This watch is rated to 20ATM with a screw down crown and streamlined crown guards to protect the movement from external shocks.
The dial is matte black with our proprietary RDXb1 luminous paint that glows a true blue at night, paired with a C3 green second hand and bezel marker.
Our date window cutout is circular to increase visibility of the numeral and add to the overall iconic design, with white numerals on black.

We extracted its design DNA from the Bauhaus (literally "construction house" or "school of building") modernist movement, begun in the 1920s. This design was hatched over coffee with a friend when he mentioned that he really liked the Bauhaus design aesthetic. I initially thought the rugged case would clash with a minimal dial, but through countless iterations, we honed the concept. We honored the purposeful Bauhaus philosophy and implemented linear accents that also preserved the quick read priority.

This one's for all of you who requested a Redux two piece strap!
The SL2 two piece strap is a Redux exclusive design executed with American leather and handcrafted right here in New York City and equipped with our original titanium hardware.
This Wickett & Craig leather is traditionally used for saddles, holsters and sheaths. Skirting leather is painstakingly tanned and drum dyed by hand. These hides boasts a subtle waxy finish from the special treatment.
Drum rolling:
COURG crew voted, we listened.
First, TL;DR Features, full notes below (photos for description and not final).
1. We'll add a second layer of leather to line the strap. Whereas many straps use a cheaper leather for stiffening in the second layer, we insisted on using top quality leather for the inner second layer. We think this added expense is worthwhile because it's not just how the strap looks, but how it feels against your skin. I was skeptical at first, because I've been happy with the original raw straps. But when our strap maker said, "That's how I would want my watch strap to be made" -- How could I argue?
2. We'll seal the edge (but not with edge paint -- with a proprietary sealant protocol). In test installations of the edge painted straps, I found it to be bulky and difficult to use. Instead of paint, our strap maker seals the edge with a natural wax formulation to ensure durability and preserve the internal leather grain. Once the wax is applied, the strap maker burnishes the edge with a leather working tool that applies heat and pressure to protect your investment in superior quality American leather.
3. Our strap maker will hand stitch the straps with waxed thread with minimal double knots. The vast majority of you voted for the minimal stitch, which is the one I was leaning towards myself.
4. We're going to fly solo with the Redux & Co. symbol stamped into the tail. In our original production of leather straps, we included additional logo from a production partner and found that many of you would have preferred we left it off. So, that's what we're going to do.
5. We'll finish the tail end with a half hex to complement the gear shape and titanium hardware DNA.
**Please note the buckle we've used was just for the prototypes because we ran out of the buckle type we designed for leather straps:
Photos are representative of the final design but as you know we've been making changes, so just remember these are not exact.

We're excited to offer these reversed Cordovan straps, equipped with our exclusive titanium hardware design.
This Color 8 reverse side offers all the rugged durability and stretch-resistant-yet-supple nature of Cordovan, with an added unique character to each strap that will patina much more noticeably as you wear it in.
What makes Cordovan so rugged is that it isn't the hide (outer layer). Cordovan is actually from the fibrous flat muscle layer underneath, which is also more waterproof.
This all adds up to a much longer-lasting strap.
Horween marks their Cordovan leather hides with a black stamp. Very few straps bear the maker's mark optimally placed to add a bit of character.
We've hand selected the best of these and designated them in a special batch called Horween Mark.
*** Please note: Due to the very unique character of each strap and different ink splashes or drips or marks, we know you will enjoy the distinctly one-of-a-kind strap, so we can't guarantee how each one turns out and that's the beauty of these straps. ***
Specifications:
Care: We recommend a good leather cleaner and conditioner.
Interesting fact: When Cordovan leather was initially developed, it quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional durability and strength. As a result, Cordovan became a prized material for military equipment, particularly for armour breastplates and shields in the 16-17th century.
