(PRE-ORDER) "Covert Camo" Chrono-Grip™ SP (Single Pass) Hook Strap

from $34.00

Introducing: The Chrono-Grip™ SP (Single Pass) Hook Strap in "Covert Camo"!

This is a pre-order listing to help fund the purchase of an all-new elastic variant. Expected ship date is October/November 2024.📦

Fully funded through Kickstarter in May 2024, the Chrono-Grip Hook Strap was extremely well received. And not even a month went by before a new variant was born based on feedback from the community due its ultra versatile hardware design. This new, ultra minimalistic version passes a single layer of elastic across the back of your watch caseback and utilizes a single Titanium Hook to handle the closure and sizing, while introducing a level of adjustment never seen before in the world of Hook Straps.

Next Gen Hardware

Machined from Grade 5 Titanium, the Chrono-Grip's hardware is not only stronger, but highly corrosion resistant, nearly weightless, and warm to the touch, while maintaining an extremely low profile. The materials work hand-in-hand with its highly refined geometry, and ultimately serve to unlock the full potential of the Hook Strap system.

After 90+ design iterations, the twin "Grip Lock" slots have proven to be the prominent game changer for this system. As the webbing is pulled, the teeth increase their grip on the elastic. This makes any chance of slippage nearly impossible. And the patent is indeed pending!

Other advantages of the new hardware include the fully curved profile for a flush fit around the wrist, rounded edges, and improved hook geometry to allow for easier installation and removal.

Truly Endurable

Featuring my latest "PRO Series" Polyester Elastic Webbing, this reinforced, 1.8mm thick, plain weave of elastic is exceptionally durable, UV Resistant, Water Proof,  Freeze Proof, Shock Proof, Overstretch Resistant, and ready for literally anything you're brave enough to endure.

Versatility Evolved

Because of those nifty new Grip Lock slots, gone will be the days of your Hook Strap being limited to micro-adjustments.

The Chrono-Grip™ SP allows sizing up to 3.00"+ past your wrist size for use with any outer layer you wish (wetsuits, jackets, space suit gauntlets, etc.) It's ready for any occasion, any time.

The elastic is even trimmable if so desired! Just snip, burn, and squeeze.

Hot Swappable

Due to only using one piece of removable hardware, the elastic band can be swapped out at will with any Strap Module! Fancy a different color throughout the day? Just slide the hook onto a different color and you’re good to go! Stock up on different Hook finishes to build an extremely diverse kit to match any occasion.

Pass-Through Ready

Thanks to its revolutionary hardware design, the Chrono-Grip™ can be installed and removed from your watch without the use of any tools.

The Hook is completely removable, allowing for the single layer of elastic webbing to pass through even the tightest of lug spaces (much like any NATO strap).

Robust Simplicity

With only one 54-stitch bartack as its main construction point, one strip of heavy duty elastic webbing, and one solid pieces of hardware, it really doesn't get much simpler!

Better, faster, stronger!

There are fewer modes of failure, more room for adjustment, and twice as fast to construct here in the shop.

And when you're done with any rigorous activities, just toss it in the wash! Cool Wash, Tumble Dry Low 👍

Assembly is a Cinch!

Installation is now easier than ever. Just slide the strap through your watches lug space and hook it up!

Once on the wrist, it easily conceals beneath the cuff of a shirt, or adjusts to secure around the outside of your sleeve. Hey, no judgements, you do you!

Proudly Made in the USA

Just like everything else I've ever made, these straps are built entirely by me and my (hopefully) growing team of fellow makers out of my new shop in Hanford, California
