American Leather G10 / NATO Mil-Strap
The Fit.
Width: 20mm
Fits Wrists: 7.75 - 9.5 inches around. Don't know your wrist size? Use this handy cheat sheet, just download and print. (Pro tip: You can add more holes if needed. Any tailor, shoe repair, or self-respecting leather aficionado will own a leather punch.)
The Titanium Hardware.
This features our exclusive titanium hardware design, now with more refined and stone polished edges to take sharpness down a notch and up the comfort level. RDX logo etched in the buckle and Redux & Co. etched on first titanium keeper.
The American Leather.
Premium American made leather, supple with high contrast thick thread stitching. Hot stamped logo on the strap tail.
We selected leather from renown Wickett & Craig makers in Pennsylvania. 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.
This version is a thinner variant of our most recent straps for easier installation and lighter feeling on the wrist. This leather is stiffer and offers reduced stretch compared to other softer leathers such as the Horween we've used in the past.
The Colors.
This Clay color is so close to the leather strap I used originally and many of you asked for, but we weren't able to source at the time. But now with the Wickett & Craig, this turned out so much better. The skirting leather matures nicely and develops a personalized patina based on how often you rock it.
Black. Pitch black. Black stitching. That is all.
This Rust color in particular portrays a wonderful character that deepens the leather feel when worn and bent. The distressed nature of this oiled latigo leather is a result of Wickett & Craig's special treatment:
"Oiled Latigo is hot dipped in a special mix of oils, waxes and tallows. Reinforced to withstand the elements, the lighters colors have a rich pull-up and display strong character."
The very special look of this oiled latigo is super difficult to capture, and my photos just aren't doing it justice. This color is a deep brown with a tinge of rust hue to it with the slightest touch of oxblood.
The NATO Strap.
This design is often referred to as a NATO 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.
The secondary strap prevents the watch case from sliding around on the strap 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 and into the abyss.
**Please note: Once the strap has been installed, it cannot be returned because the leather will be marked.

The Single Pass Strap.
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 a single leather strap piece with a titanium buckle and two matched keepers.
Rock it.
We recommend you wear this by sliding 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 single pass is a hybrid that optimizes the benefits of the G10/NATO with a two-piece. The main benefit of a single pass 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 security of a G10/NATO and sits closer to your wrist.
**Please note: Once the strap has been installed, it cannot be returned because the leather will be marked.
Ballistic Nylon G10/NATO Mil-Strap: Black 20mm
FITS WRIST SIZES: 6.5 - 9.25 inches around.
(Pro tip: You can add more holes if needed. Measure your wrist with a piece of string.)
Say goodbye to generic, clumsy, and cheap strap hardware. You know your time machine deserves better.
We equipped our signature G10/NATO 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 is an upgraded ballistic nylon material where we incorporate a tighter weave that 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 referred to as a NATO 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 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.
Care: We recommend placing in a mesh bag and washing in cold water. Hang or lay flat to dry. DO NOT put in the dryer.
This strap will endure constant abuse and anything you throw at it for years to come and along the away 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.

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.
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.
The two-piece strap is the traditional style you see most often that’s secured to the watch with spring bars, and does not pass under the watch case. It consists of a tail piece and a buckle side.
Our proprietary design 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 main benefit of a two-piece is that the watch sits flush against your wrist.

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.
Care: We recommend placing in a mesh bag and washing in cold water. Hang or lay flat to dry. DO NOT put in the dryer.
This strap will endure constant abuse and anything you throw at it for years to come and along the away 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.

Clay Color Two Piece American Leather Strap 20mm
FITS WRIST SIZES: 6.25 - 8 inches around.
(Pro tip: You can add more holes if needed. Measure your wrist with a piece of string.)
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.
This Clay color is so close to the leather strap I used originally and many of you asked for, but we weren't able to source at the time. But now with the Wickett & Craig, this turned out so much better. The skirting leather will age nicely and develop a personalized patina based on how often you rock it.
Our strap maker's edge finish is sleek and adds just the right amount of darker finish, but not black, which I personally didn't like. The burnish is a nice nuance that will darken over time to a nice dark brown.
Drum rolling:
COURG crew voted, we listened.
First, TL;DR Features, full notes below (photos for description and not final).
- Strap Construction: Lined
- Edge: Sealed
- Stitch: Minimal Hand-tied Knot
- Tail Tag: RDX Symbol
- Tail End: Angle Cut
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 seal 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 an additional logo from a production partner and found that many of you would have preferred we left it off. And such, this is also our first foray into making our own straps from scratch. 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 is just for the prototypes because we didn't have the type we designed for leather straps on hand:
Photos are representative of the final design but as you know we've been making changes, so just remember these are not exact.

COURG : A-11
FIELD REPORTS 
#COURG = COURAGE
The COURG ORIGIN: Mission critical pilot instruments, fused with diver tools.
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.
A-11: American Legend
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).
COURG A-11. Heritage x Reliability + Upgrades
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 [15ATM/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. Titanium grade 2 or grade 5, bead blasted and 20% lighter than a stainless steel equivalent.
The uni-directional titanium bezel prevents accidental rotation, and provides rugged precision machined teeth for grip.
This watch is rated to 15ATM (Ti.Gr2) or 20 ATM (Ti.Gr5) 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.

COURG : A-11 US Navy Squadron Special Edition
*cockpit not included*
FIELD REPORTS
#COURG = COURAGE
Only 50 made. Only 21 17 available to the public.
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."
That means we have 21 17 left for you. We won't be making anymore of these.
We'll send a portion of profit to families of veterans via Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation. This is a scholarship program for children who have lost a parent in the line of duty, Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation provides much-needed support for struggling military kids and surviving spouses.

MINIMALIST: Ruggedized Architectural German Design
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.

The German aircraft ministry developed designs for their WWII pilots, called B-Uhren -- short for Beobachtungs-uhren ("Observation Watch"). and is often referred to as a Type A or Flieger. The Luftwaffe owned these watches, and the pilots were forced to return them after each mission. These were 55mm!

COURG : Type-B
FIELD REPORTS
#COURG CREW = COURAGE
The COURG ORIGIN: Mission critical pilot instruments, fused with diver tools.
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.
TYPE-B: Upgraded Iconic German Design
The German aircraft ministry developed designs for their WWII pilots, called B-Uhren -- short for Beobachtungs-uhren ("Observation Watch") and is often referred to as a Flieger. The brother to the Type-A, the Type-B was designed specifically by the Luftwaffe in WW2 for their bomber pilots, who used the emphasis on the minutes for accuracy in bombing runs. The Luftwaffe owned these watches, and the pilots were forced to return them after each mission. These were 55mm!
We translated the legendary Type-B design into a classic 39mm size and implemented a date window at 4PM.
Then we updated all the materials and machinery. 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. Titanium grade 2 or grade 5, bead blasted and 20% lighter than a stainless steel equivalent.
The uni-directional titanium bezel prevents accidental rotation, and provides rugged precision machined teeth for grip.
This watch is rated to 15ATM (Ti.Gr2) or 20 ATM (Ti.Gr5) 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.

Zero-Hour: Lean, Mean, Machine.
Refined to the core 3-6-9 hour elements, this dial is driven by diver watch functionality where distractions are stripped away to only essential elements that optimize legibility in murky conditions and aid instant instrument readouts. Zero-Hour is the military term for the scheduled time of a mission.
We selected a classic 39mm size and implemented a date window at 4PM.

Double Layer Single Pass American Leather Strap Rust Color 20mm
FITS WRIST SIZES: 6.75 - 8.25 inches around.
(Pro tip: You can add more holes if needed. Measure your wrist with a piece of string.)
***This prototype is pictured with gray stitching. We're going to go with a more subtle brown stitch instead.***
This one's for all of you who won't deviate from a single pass strap and want less stretch!
The SL1 single pass 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).
- Strap Construction: Lined
- Edge: Sealed
- Stitch: Minimal Hand-tied Knot
- Tail Tag: RDX Symbol
- Tail End: Angle Cut
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 seal 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 the additional logo from a production partner and found that many of you would have preferred we left it off. And such, this is also our first foray into making our own straps from scratch. 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 is just for the prototypes because we didn't have the type we designed for leather straps on hand:
Photos are representative of the final design but as you know we've been making changes, so just remember these are not exact.

This Clay color is so close to the leather strap I used originally and many of you asked for, but we weren't able to source at the time. But now with the Wickett & Craig, this turned out so much better. The skirting leather will age nicely and develop a personalized patina based on how often you rock it.
Our strap maker's edge finish is sleek and adds just the right amount of darker finish, but not black, which I personally didn't like. The burnish is a nice nuance that will darken over time to a nice dark brown.
