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."

The latest version of an original Haveston design initially released in 2017, the Carrier-2P variation expands Haveston's popular Service series with a traditional two-piece layout. It features a finely woven, malleable base weave with double-layered construction, brushed stainless steel hardware and quick-release spring bars for easy installation and removal.

Carrier-2P's versatile combination of subdued navy blue and grey tones closely conveys the USN Tri-Color Scheme of 1943, which employed counter-shading and counter-shadowing techniques. Colors included Non-Specular Sea Blue (ANA 607) and Non-Specular Intermediate Blue (ANA 608) for upper and middle surfaces, along with Non-Specular Insignia White (ANA 601) for lower surfaces.
