Get it fast: Our in-stock Erika's Originals MN straps ship immediately from Washington state!
Inspired by the classic Marine Nationale watch strap (originally invented by French naval divers to pair with their military-issued Tudor MN watches) and widely regarded as one of the most comfortable all-season straps on the market today, Erika's Originals MN straps are expertly handcrafted by Erika and her team of skilled artisans in Valencia, Spain.
Each strap starts with superior European spandex elastic nylon, dyed to perfection in Switzerland for ultimate comfort and moisture regulation, and featuring a rounded-edge, non-fraying endless weave elastic (two perfect sides!). Woven to the highest specification using traditional techniques on state-of-the-art looms, this durable material maintains its perfect structure while supporting even the beefiest watches. Lines are 100% hand stitched using premium European yarns. Easily microadjust for a customized fit with the integrated sliding clasp. The 316 stainless steel buckle is water resistant in both ocean and pool, and for added peace of mind, all Erika's Originals MN straps are hypoallergenic and latex-free.
