"FLAG" HD PRO Hook Strap™ Series - Stainless Steel - Elastic Watch Band

from $53.00

Enhanced Durability, Gone Global. Introducing: The “FLAG” HD Print Series, the latest in the ever-growing line of Hook Straps™ here at NMD. This introductory series of customizable, printed watch bands are made from the newly added, reinforced PRO Series Plain Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing, now with a striking graphical twist, and custom machined 316 Stainless Steel “G-Hook” hardware.

“When life gets extreme, the extreme wear the professional series.”

This Hook Strap model aims to recognize the different countries of the world by the incorporation of their respective flag. This is just an introductory set of options, so if there’s a country you’d like to see, let me know!

NOTE: For “Fixed Bar Compatibility”: Your watch will need at least 2mm of unobstructed space behind your fixed/spring bars to fit the elastic loop through the gaps. Otherwise, you will need to utilize the “guided ribbon assist” technique as detailed here, which should work even with the trickiest of lug spaces.

FBV3 = Fixed Bar Version 3: This latest iteration utilizes a proprietary stitch method developed in-house that I call the “Overtack” stitch, which essentially welds the cut-end of the elastic down for smoother access between fixed bar watch lugs. It’s about 40x stronger than my traditional stitch, and serves a valuable purpose. But if you prefer the classic straight stitch, just drop a note in the comment field upon ordering.

SHIPPING NOTE: Due to great demand, current order lead time is no less than 10-12 WEEKS prior to shipment.

SPECS:

  • 35 introductory “FLAG” HD Graphic options! (Black Print on Dark Backgrounds is NOT recommended)

  • Utilizes my all-new “HD” Printed Artwork with unsurpassed definition, vibrance, and scratch resistance. (Fully Machine Washable: Cold Wash with mild detergent & Tumble Dry Low.)

  • Equipped with my Custom, Super Durable, Low-Profile, Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel Hardware in a Variety of Finish Options:

    • Brushed Silver: Machined surface to a brilliant raw steel appearance.

    • Anodized Black: A “tough as nails” MIL-A-8625 Type II Class 2 Military-Grade Hard Anodized Flat Black Finish.

    • Blasted Silver: Sandblasted stainless steel provides a tough, matte silver finish; great for reducing reflectivity in bright conditions.

    • Polished Silver: Mirror Polished stainless steel to match the more lustrous pieces of your collection.

    • All signed with a Laser-Etched NMD Logo!

  • All-new 1.5mm thick Military-Grade Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing that is built to perform in the deepest depths and the highest heights.

  • 56-stitch “Over-Tack” construction with Extra Heavy Weight 100% Polyester Thread (for easier spring bar clearance) on Fixed Bar straps.

  • Superbly comfortable. Breathable. Water resistant. Shock resistant. Low-Profile.

  • Conforms to wrist shape and stretches with your natural movements.

  • 5” - 9” wrist sizes now offered to achieve a perfectly tailored fit.

  • Wears flat on the wrist; No excess bulk beneath the watch.

  • Smart Watch Friendly; Allows for full use of any built-in fitness sensors.

  • Includes one Hook Strap + Two 316 Stainless Steel Bolt-Action Spring Bars.

  • Handmade to order right here in CA, USA, EARTH 🗽

  • Satisfaction Guaranteed 👍
