The Zulu band is a rugged watch strap crafted from a durable nylon weave with robust stainless steel details featuring a brushed finish. Put simply, a Zulu band can be described as a more robust version of the NATO band. Like NATO bands, they were developed out of a functional necessity for divers who required an extra strong strap. Our Zulu watch bands are made in one piece without the extra "flap" found in NATO bands, thus providing a streamlined appearance despite its thicker nylon weave.
