How do I measure my wrist size?
  1. Take a piece of string, boot lace or a strip of paper as a measuring guide and pass it around your wrist.
  2. Nip or mark the guide at the overlap.
  3. Gauge the measuring guide against a ruler to establish your wrist size.
  4. Round-up or round-down to the nearest 1/4 inch to determine the watch band size that is right for you.
What is the difference between Hawkrigger’s different clasps options?
  • The O-Rig has a cinch-down closure that uses static webbing for infinite adjustability.
  • The Grappleband has a secure hook closure that uses elastic webbing for exception comfort.
  • The Riggerband has a slot and tang closure with elastic webbing for secure but quick release operation.
How do I match correct strap width with the lug size my watch needs?

Measure the width of your watch’s lugs where the strap attaches to the watch. Common sizes are 18mm, 21m, 20mm, 22mm, 24mm and 26mm. You can also check the watch's specifications for the correct strap size.

How do I choose between 20mm or 22mm strap if I have a watch with 21mm lugs?

Hawkrigger offers 21mm width straps in 2 piece configuration. For all other straps where you may choose to pair a 20mm or 22mm strap with 21mm lug watch the choice is subjective and so entirely yours to make!

Do you offer strap customisation?

No, but we do offer a diverse range of types, styles, colors, sizes, webbing, and hardware, giving you plenty of options to create the perfect strap for your watch.

Have tried numerous fabric straps for a tool watch (specifically Tudor Black Bay Heritage) and found most to poor quality and cheap buckle options.

Ordered the O-Rig Airborne Coyote as I like the more functional appearance and it is fantastic. The strap has a solid but very comfortable feel and the buckle is clearly durable but almost unnoticeable in feel when being worn. Perfect.

Easy to adjust and once in place holds solid with no need to adjust. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to change up the look of their watch with a real piece of quality.

Worn with the Marathon GSAR, I’ve gone through multiple styles of straps like nato, MN and rubber 2-piece and steel. Some have snapped or stretched. None have compared to the O-rig. This thing is rock solid and looks awesome, the near infinite adjustability make it comfortable no matter what, hot or cold weather or over a wetsuit.
