Simple, rugged, and packed with character, the Zero-Pass Ribbed Nylon Strap from Anachronist is purpose-built to elevate your everyday wear. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend hike or pairing it with a modern field watch, this military-inspired strap offers a mix of utilitarian function and timeless style—with a unique twist.
Unlike standard nylon straps, the Zero-Pass design eliminates any material between your watch and your wrist. This allows the watch to sit lower and closer to the skin, improving both comfort and aesthetics—especially for thicker timepieces. Made from ribbed nylon for added texture and strength, these straps are lightweight yet durable, with just the right amount of flexibility for all-day comfort.
The long 290mm length accommodates a wide range of wrist sizes and wearing styles. 304 stainless steel hardware ensures reliability while maintaining a clean, brushed aesthetic. Whether you’re swapping out for the season or need a go-to strap that won’t quit, these are designed for a more comfortable wear and lasting performance. They’re the kind of strap you’ll want multiples of.
Note: The Zero-Pass strap requires the removal of the 12 o'clock spring bar for installation and is not compatible with watches that have fixed lugs.

At the Windup Watch Shop, we’re always on the lookout for smart, thoughtful upgrades to everyday gear. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Zero-Pass strap—a fresh take on the classic NATO, designed by Max, a longtime strap enthusiast who loved the look but never quite found the right fit. Tired of bulky stacking and awkward wear, he decided to create something better. After years of trial, error, and even some dental floss stitching, the result is a patent-pending, single-layer strap that eliminates excess material between your wrist and the watch. Built with premium hardware and crafted by some of the best strap makers in the world, the Zero-Pass is comfortable, balanced, and purpose-built.
