Light

it won’t add weight to your wrist as the materials are very thin, light and soft. The typical thickness of a NATO strap is from 1.2 to 1.7 millimeters. While this doesn’t look like a big difference it will make or break your strap: 1.2mm is cheapest but fragile, 1.7mm will make it rugged but too rigid. We picked 1.5mm as the best balance in terms of sturdiness and flexibility, selecting only the highest standards in ballistic nylon.

Secure

The watch is firmly attached to the strap through 2 links vs. traditional straps which are attached to 1 link at time. If a link breaks, with a traditional strap the watch will fall. The Paul Cliff Easy collection , on top of making strap-changing an easy operation add sturdiness and security to your watch.
