Ribbed fabric watch straps
A ribbed fabric strap gives a watch a texture and depth that a flat weave can't match. The raised rib catches the light and softens the look of the strap, giving it a relaxed, vintage character that suits dive watches, field watches, chronographs and everyday steel sports watches. Our premium ribbed straps use a dense, high-quality weave that's soft against the skin and holds its shape and colour well.
Colours and stripes
Plain colours - versatile shades like black, army green, smoke grey, graphite grey and mocha that pair with almost any dial.
Stripes - classic regimental combinations, including black and khaki, burgundy and khaki, and cream and army green, for a more distinctive look.
Black PVD hardware - selected colours come with black PVD-coated buckles and keepers, the perfect match for a black or PVD-cased watch.
Why choose a ribbed strap?
Ribbed fabric is comfortable in hot weather, quick to dry and tough enough for travel, the outdoors and everyday wear. It's also one of the easiest ways to change a watch's character without spending a fortune, and many customers keep several to swap between. If you prefer a strap that sits like leather, our two-piece ballistic nylon straps use the same ribbed weave with standard spring bar fittings.

Sizing
Ribbed straps are sized by lug width, the gap between the lugs on your watch case.
FAQs
Can I wear a ribbed fabric strap in water?
Yes. Rinse it in fresh water after salt water or a chlorinated pool, and let it dry naturally.
How do I clean a ribbed strap?
Hand wash it in warm soapy water, rinse well and leave it to air dry. Take the strap off the watch first.
What is PVD hardware?
PVD is a hard-wearing coating applied to the buckle and keepers. Black PVD matches black and PVD-coated watch cases far better than standard steel.
