The Cap Strap™ v2 - Elastic Bottle Opener Watch Band
2019 v3.0 Updated Version! Supreme comfort. Convenient utility. Practical design. What more could you want in a watch band? Oh, a bottle opener, you say? Introducing: The Cap Strap™. The World’s First Fully Elastic, Bottle-Opening Watch Strap. These dynamic bands are made from military-grade Twill Woven Elastic Webbing, and my first-ever totally custom, plated Zinc Alloy “G-Hook” hardware.
However, due to the very unique nature of these straps, I’m only able to supply a specific set of build options at this time until interest in the concept has been evaluated to justify further development costs.

The Long Version:
- Quality Hardware: Designed and built completely from the ground up, the black oxide-coated, ‘G-Hook’ style, heavy-duty Plated Zinc Alloy hardware acts as both the closure method and bottle-opener apparatus.
- Poppin’ Caps: The bottle opening feature works via the robust tooth integrated into the G-Hook design. Without even removing the watch from your wrist, just apply the opener beneath any bottle cap edge, and firmly pry in an upward motion to remove the cap. Then just re-hook the buckle back onto the loop of your strap until your next brewskie!
- Like Sweatpants For Your Wrist: The Elastic used for these straps was also specially developed specifically for the task of being worn all day on the wrist. This material has an exceptionally tight yet breathable, soft Twill Weave of polyester and rubber, with reinforced edges that prevents unraveling and shape change when stretched. All in all, it makes for the most comfortable watch wearing experience you’ll ever have.
- Tailored Fit: No matter what size wrist you have, you’ll find no greater amount of adjustability and comfort than you will with the Cap Strap. Now offered in all wrist sizes from 5” - 9”, choose the strap length that best suits the circumference of your wrist. Further adjustment can be handled via the built-in strap slider for that perfect, glove-like fitment. (If you’re in between sizes, go with the larger size. Custom sizing is always welcome, too! Just leave a comment with your order.)
- Ultra Flexible: Probably the most overlooked factor related to wearing watches is that throughout any given day, the human wrist will expand and contract dozens of times when exposed to different temperatures and activities. Leather, steel, rubber and silicone all suffer in some way to these changes, but not Elastic. It will adapt and conform to your every move, both voluntary and involuntary, without you ever noticing.
- Shock Absorbing: The spring bars of your watch are the only thing keeping your precious timepiece attached to your wrist. So why not treat them right? Metal and leather bracelets, for example, are often worn too tight. And when you flex your wrist or bump your watch into something, this puts severe strain upon them. Elastic however, acts as the perfect shock absorber due to its magnificent ability to stretch.
- Through Thick & Thin: Thanks to its synthetic nature, this is a strap that’s right at home anywhere from the office to your next backpacking trip. And when you get back, it’s ready for the pool, or next to it manning the barbecue. This Elastic is incredibly durable, completely water-resistant, and super easy to wash if needed! If that’s not enough, this stuff even meets the mil-spec durability requirements set by the U.S. Armed Forces. No biggie.
- Make It Yours: Choose from 13 Elastic Colors, 21 Stitching Colors, and 2 Hardware Colors!
*Pre-Orders for different Width Straps will require a few months of R&D. If appropriate funding is never met, your money will be refunded.
**Watch not included. Sorry.
Proudly made by hand right here in California, USA.
