Haveston Service Series OG-107 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 the Service series of nylon straps and an original Haveston pattern design, OG-107 refers to the US Army color code Olive Green 107 (also the name of the fatigue utility uniform), which was typically seen with name tapes and insignia embroidered in black and yellow. Originally issued in 1952, these color tones became more subdued for field use in the ’60s before being replaced by the famous Battle Dress Uniforms (BDUs) in the late ’80s.

The A2 version features a single-pass layout for a streamlined wearing profile and reduced “off-wrist” height. OG-107 has a reinforced tail tip and setting holes, as well as an updated, edged weave. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the tail.
