The PDW Ti-Ring Strap is an updated version of the classic, military issue, nylon watch strap. Our modern version features heavier duty, custom made titanium rings and buckle, with a sturdy, thicker, yet pliable and comfortable nylon strap.
The Ring or "G10" strap originally entered service in 1973 with the British Ministry of Defence. It was made with a thin nylon strap and came with chrome plated brass buckles and "ring" keepers. PDW chose to use titanium in the rings and buckles for total corrosion resistance on land or under the sea, and 100% non-magnetic as to not interfere with the strap worn compasses such as our EWB-Compass Kit. With the proliferation of rare earth magnets being used in today's bags, wallets, key fobs, and other EDC items, we found that these magnets affected the typical stainless rings used in most Ring type straps on the market. Not only are rare earth magnets harmful to the internal mechanics of a fine mechanical watch, the magnetized stainless steel rings affected any compasses used as supporting accessories on a watch strap. Our Ti-Ring eliminated magnetic interference and offers superior performance and durability in the field.
The PDW Ti-Ring Straps are AWESOME! The color and fit are spot on and they give a totally different look and feel to any watch you put on.

Bought this for a leather replacement; nice band
Picked this up to replace a leather band on a Hamilton bronze field watch. I will probably we swapping this and the Ti-MNPara Strap as I can't decide which one I like the best.

Love this nato strap!!!
Absolutely to notch quality! This is my second pdw strap and I opted for the green to pair with my Marathon GSAR. Looks great, feels great, and seriously rugged enough to withstand anything. I will forever have a pdw strap on my watches.

Best nato band hands down
I’ve been running this strap daily for 2 weeks and it’s been great! I love the band can fold back so it looks like a true nato. The only thing I’d change or suggest is more colors in this style. Coyote, dark blue and gray would be nice to add to my lineup of bands.
