Supreme Comfort, Gone Supersonic. Introducing: The Limited Edition “VPR” Hook Strap™. Straight from the DANGER ZONE, this striking series of watch bands are made from a specialized version of the same proprietary, military-grade Twill-Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing that many of you have come to love, but with a vice-like reinforcement liner, and a vibrant graphical twist, all with my latest custom machined 316 Stainless Steel “G-Hook” hardware.

DANGER ZONE SERIES

NMD 6645-01-DZ1-0004
CALLSIGN: "VPR"

The fourth strap to enter the DANGER ZONE pays tribute to a character with a flight service record second to none, and the commanding rank to back it up. While gruff on the exterior, within is a distinguished mentor that knows just which buttons to push in propelling his students to be the best of the best.

Locked onto your wrist with our vice-like Inversion Resistant Hazard Liner, this strap aims to signify that, while danger is inherently bad, when its wielded by the masters of our domain, can become the ultimate tool in sharpening the next generation of elite instructors. Also known as: "Adversaries".

OVERVIEW:

  • Limited Edition Original Artwork: Designed by yours truly while proudly inspired by the characteristic HGU-33 flight helmets seen on the silverscreen.

  • HD Printing: These are the first straps to employ my entirely new form of graphic application technology which provide unsurpassed definition, vibrance, and resistance to the harshest conditions. This cutting edge “HD Print” technology comes standard on all DZ1 straps.

  • “Inversion Resistant” Hazard Liner: My latest custom elastic that has been developed to provide greatly enhanced strength and rigidity in any high-speed environment.

  • Liner Appearance: Hazard Stripes were chosen to evoke the distinctive pattern of the ejection handles that are found throughout the cockpit of an F-14 Tomcat; called out by the striking "PULL TO EJECT" graphic. Which just so happens to be the same method to remove one’s Hook Strap!

  • Legendary Packaging: Each order ships with completely redesigned limited edition packaging, a numbered & signed collector's card, plus a few extra special goodies. 🎩🔫

  • Quantities are extremely limited to just 50 per model.

  • NOTE: Due to great demand, current order lead time is no less than 8-10 WEEKS prior to shipment.

FULL SPECS:

  • Limited Edition, Double-Sided “VPR” and “PULL TO EJECT” HD Print Artwork.

    (A Sprint-Run of 50 Total Pieces to Commemorate the MAVERICK film set to release in May 2022. Original release date was November 2021.)

  • 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 Blasted Silver Finish: great for reducing reflectivity in bright conditions like F-14 cockpits.

  • Specially-made 1.8mm thick military-grade Stealth Black Twill Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing with my proprietary Hazard Liner reinforcement.

  • Double Stitched with Extra Heavy Weight 100% Polyester Thread.

  • Water resistant. Shock resistant. 4G Inversion 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 Spring Bars.

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

  • Satisfaction Guaranteed 👍
