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 Haveston's Service series of nylon straps, the Denison is based on the British WWII Special Operations “Brush Stroke” camouflage Denison smock that was issued to British commando and parachute units. Introduced in 1942, the design was initially hand-applied with moplike brushes in broad pea green and dark brown strokes on a sand twill base. Haveston's Denison pattern was redrawn in-house, to adapt its characteristic design for a longitudinal strap profile.

The A2 version features a single-pass layout for a streamlined wearing profile and reduced "off-wrist" height. It has a reinforced look and construction, including fortified setting holes and strap tail. The sliding keeper allows easy and secure stowing of the tail.
