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."

Part of the Service series of nylon straps and an original Haveston pattern design, Fortress B is based on the 1940 USAAF Spec. 24114 aircraft camouflage scheme (olive drab, grey and orange yellow) used in the European theater of WWII.

The A2 version features a single-pass layout for a streamlined wearing profile and reduced "off-wrist" height. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the tail.
