42 INTRODUCING HAVESTON STRAP THICKER, STURDIER, AND HIGHER QUALITY THAN THE AVERAGE NATO STRAPS www.haveston.com By Azhar Ahmad In this edition of strap review, we have a very cool brand for your reading pleasure. These guys are not just your ordinary NATO straps; they're re-engineered from the traditional layout by extending the mounting position of the watch case and relocate the folded tail to the flat base of the wearer's wrist. But let’s not rush into details so fast. Please meet Haveston, your new favorite heavy duty strap. While other strap brands have many options to choose from, Haveston only has two choice of straps, and it's actually a good thing. You can spend hours wandering from one strap to another, but you'll never be able to narrow it down to these two straps because let's face it, how often do you change straps anyway? Inspired by the striped paint scheme applied to Allied aircraft on the eve of the D- Day invasion, the Invasion strap was born. The M1936 strap is based on classic canvas tones found in US military field equipment between 1943-45. Both straps feature a heavy weave fabric that holds its form while still remaining flexible. Its completely redesigned layout delivers greater comfort and aesthetics and the sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of tail. You can purchase them individually or both in a set. It only comes in 20mm but a 22mm one will soon be available. We encourage you to pay a visit to their site and have a look or follow their journey on Instagram @havestonstraps. WRIST TAKER 17
