Hook Strap™ FBV3 PRO (Fixed Bar Compatible) - Stainless Steel - Elastic Watch Band

from $43.00

Enhanced Durability, Without the Luxury Price. Introducing: The Hook Strap™ PRO Fixed Bar (FBV3) Stainless Steel; A fortifying update on the comfiest watch band system that utilizes the industry’s first ever “Hook and Loop” closure system. These dynamic bands are made to order from a reinforced Military-Grade Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing, and specialized 316 Stainless Steel “G-Hook” hardware with a notch taken out of the base for detachment from the elastic webbing.

“When life gets extreme, the extreme wear the professional series.”

FBV3 = Fixed Bar Version 3: This latest iteration utilizes a proprietary stitch method developed in-house that I call the “Overtack” stitch, which essentially welds the cut-end of the elastic down for smoother access between fixed bar watch lugs. It’s about 8x stronger than my traditional stitch, and serves a valuable purpose. But if you prefer the classic straight stitch, just drop a note in the comment field upon ordering.

FITMENT NOTE: This universal design is still compatible with all spring bar-based watches! But your Fixed Bar watch will need at least 3mm of unobstructed space behind your fixed/spring bars to fit the elastic loop through the gaps. Otherwise, you will need to utilize the “guided ribbon assist” technique as detailed here, which should work even with the trickiest of lug spaces.

SHIPPING NOTE: Due to great demand, the current lead time is 8-10 WEEKS prior to order fulfillment.

SPECS:

  • All-new 1.8mm thick Military-Grade Woven Polyester Elastic Webbing that is built to perform in the deepest depths and the highest heights.

  • Now Featuring a Specially Modified, Super Durable, Low-Profile, Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel Hardware with a modified entry slot for detachment from the elastic, in a Variety of Finish Options:

    • Brushed Silver: Machined surface to a brilliant raw steel appearance.

    • Anodized Black: A “tough as nails” MIL-A-8625 Type II Class 2 Military-Grade Hard Anodized Flat Black Finish.

    • Blasted Silver: Sandblasted stainless steel provides a tough, matte silver finish; great for reducing reflectivity in bright conditions.

    • Polished Silver: Mirror Polished stainless steel to match the more lustrous pieces of your collection.

    • All signed with a Laser-Etched NMD Logo!

  • 56-stitch “Over-Tack” construction with Extra Heavy Weight 100% Polyester Thread (for easier spring bar clearance).

  • Superbly comfortable. Breathable. Water resistant. Shock resistant. Low-Profile. Machine Washable.

  • Conforms to wrist shape and stretches with your natural movements.

  • 5” - 9” wrist sizes are offered to achieve a perfectly tailored fit.

  • Wears flat on the wrist; No excess bulk beneath the watch. Does not cover caseback.

  • Smart Watch Friendly; Allows for full use of any built-in fitness sensors, and provides enhanced accuracy due to the constant positive contact. Apple Watch adapters are now offered here! Garmin Quickfit Adapters can be found here!

  • Handmade to order right here in the USA 🗽

  • Satisfaction Guaranteed 👍
