Marine Nationale

Marine Nationale is an elastic watch strap with roots in the French Navy in the 1970s. The distinctive striped pattern — usually in blue and red or black and gray — has made it one of the most recognizable watch straps in the world. The elasticity of the strap provides a comfortable fit without a bulky buckle, and it stays securely in place regardless of activity. Perfect for Seiko, Omega and vintage watches in 18, 20 and 22 mm.


Choosing the right width
