Under the Cuff - ParaTac Strap BLUE

Our brand new ParaTac straps offer a more tactical-style choice to the UTC lineup.

Following rigorous consultation with serving officers within the Metropolitan Police's Specialist Firearms Command (MO19), we put together a strap which serves the specific use-case of those in tactical roles, but which would also suit the average consumer seeking a genuine article to enhance the look of their timepiece.

The feedback that the survey provided was as follows.

• Keep the watch case as close to the surface as possible, so as reduce bulk on the wrist. (No double pass Natos)

• Velcro fastening essential for ease of adjustment in gloves (no pin-buckle).

• Minimal metalwork/protrusions to reduce fouling and catching with equipment/tools/firearms or when in physical conflict situations.

• Heavy duty elasticated nylon manufacture for abrasion resistance and flexibility.

• A subtle nod to Policing within the design.

The specs:

• Two Piece elastic 1.6mm nylon strap (no pass under the watch case)

• 22mm lug width

• "MN - Marine Nationale" style of elasticated nylon providing 15mm flex.

• "Velcro-style" hook and loop fastening system.

• Satin black, 304L grade stainless steel loop.

• Quick-Release springbars.

• Roll-stitched edges for durability and comfort.

• Union Flag patch with "thin blue line" running through.

10% of profits from sales of ParaTac straps will be donated to COPS (Care of Police Survivors) charity - https://ukcops.org/
