Alex, the founder of British strapmaker Haveston, is fueled by a passion for horology and history. Throughout Haveston's varied and growing portfolio, its designs are defined by a focus on the honest utilitarian character of vintage military industrial equipment used by service personnel for aviation, space exploration, combat and other purposes.

If Haveston's commitment to continuous refinement and innovation is any indication, we can expect much more from the company -- with one underlying idea. According to Alex: "At the end of the day, it always comes back to that service-driven purpose, regardless of whether that is to your community, family, or the world. Having a little reminder of that on your wrist is quite special."

AAF, an original Haveston product design, incorporates both ground and air (Army and Air Force) design elements. Authentic vintage aviation features include a tapered woven nylon body, reinforced hole settings, distinctive 6mm engraved rivets and a bead-blasted aviator roller buckle. Updated with handy quick-release spring bars, the two-piece layout accommodates a range of wrist and case (lug to lug) sizes.

Formulated in 1940, Olive Drab 41 was the Army-Navy Aeronautical Board standard for use on vehicles and aircraft. Haveston's AAF OD-41 is a classic deep olive drab (the quintessential mid-war military green) with soft, neutral grey stitching.
