Haveston Service Series Carrier Watch Strap

Alex, the founder of British strapmaker Haveston, is fueled by a passion for horology and history. Throughout Haveston’s varied and growing portfolio, its designs are defined by a focus on the honest utilitarian character of vintage military industrial equipment used by service personnel for aviation, space exploration, combat and other purposes.

If Haveston’s commitment to continuous refinement and innovation is any indication, we can expect much more from the company — with one underlying idea. According to Alex: “At the end of the day, it always comes back to that service-driven purpose, regardless of whether that is to your community, family, or the world. Having a little reminder of that on your wrist is quite special.”

Part of Haveston’s Service series of nylon straps, the Carrier is an original Haveston pattern design that closely represents the 1943 U.S. Navy tricolor blue camouflage scheme employed on carrier-based aircraft in the Pacific theater of WWII. (Non-Specular Sea Blue (ANA 607) and Non-Specular Intermediate Blue (ANA 608) were used on upper and middle surfaces, while Non-Specular Insignia White (ANA 601) was used for lower surfaces.)

The A2 version features a single-pass layout for a streamlined wearing profile and reduced “off-wrist” height. It has a reinforced look and construction, including fortified setting holes and strap tail. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the tail.
