Jacques Cousteau’s Influence on Underwater Diving Equipment: A Legacy of Innovation

Jacques Cousteau, a name synonymous with underwater exploration, had an immeasurable impact on diving technology and the understanding of the world beneath the waves. As an inventor, filmmaker, and environmental advocate, Cousteau didn’t just explore the oceans—he helped create the very tools that made modern diving possible. His contributions, especially in the development of SCUBA gear and other underwater equipment, revolutionized how humans interact with the underwater environment and laid the foundation for modern scientific, recreational, and military diving.

How do I measure my wrist size?

Take a piece of string, boot lace or a strip of paper as a measuring guide and pass it around your wrist.
Nip or mark the guide at the overlap.
Gauge the measuring guide against a ruler to establish your wrist size.
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.

The people who know me know I am a strap hoarder. I am always looking out for the next iteration of an innovative watch strap. When Hawkrigger was cooking up a new style called the Huey, I had to see what was in the works. This is the Huey Riggerband. This is another version of a the watch bands Hawkrigger has is fantastic. The look and feel of the hardware is fantastic like the other lines. I mean there isn’t a style he creates I do not like. The straps are rigid yet comfortable. What this means is that you can wear these watch bands and totally forget that they are there. And you mainly put these on tool watches. This is another watch band I’m proud to own and wear throughout my collection. Now if they release more colorways, I will be in serious trouble with my wallet! But if you are on the fence if these will fit your watch, do not fret. The hardware is super easy to use, especially with the Riggerband line. It’s super simple to install and wear. If you came to this site through IG or WUS, then you know what you are looking for. I totally recommend these and the entire line. I cannot say enough great things about them and also wiith Hawkrigger themselves. Keep crankin thses puppies out and I’ll buy em!
