Inspired by the ingenuity of French naval divers who repurposed parachute webbing into reliable watch straps, these designs have become a symbol of practicality and refined minimalism.
A Dive into History
In the mid-20th century, servicemen in the French Navy (Marine Nationale) devised a way to make their military-issued watches more reliable and comfortable. They used elastic parachute webbing, a material that could easily withstand moisture, strain, and daily wear. These straps not only endured the harsh conditions of combat but also offered an understated style.
Today, Marine Nationale straps represent a historical narrative woven into modern design, seamlessly complementing any outfit.
