A Modern Take on a Military Classic

The Ribbed Mako FN takes the classic military-style pass-through strap and gives it a modern twist. Instead of the extra layer under the watch that some pass-through straps add, this two-piece design keeps your watch sitting snugly on your wrist. You get the comfort and clean look of a two-piece strap but with just a little nod to that rugged, military vibe.

• Profile: 1.3mm ribbed military-style nylon weave
• Keepers: One fixed, one sliding, plus one tail-end keeper in stainless steel
• Measurements: Buckle side: 70mm (2.75"), Tail side: 180mm (7")
• Water Rating: Waterproof
• Adjustment Holes: Heat-sealed oval-shaped holes resist fraying

Thanks to the robust 1.8mm quick-release spring bars, swapping this strap out is a breeze. You can change your look in seconds without compromising on durability or fit.

Inspired by the Mako Shark

Why the name Ribbed Mako FN? We drew inspiration from the Mako shark (scientific name: Isurus)—a creature known for speed, precision, and bold style. Or, if you like a little humor, the made-up “Mako Foe Nay Dough” just sounded fun. Either way, this strap is designed to stand out while keeping your watch secure.

• Bold ribbed nylon weave for texture and character
• Third keeper giving a nod to the double-pass military style
• Extra sturdy buckle and tongue, borrowed from our AlphaShark strap design
• Heat-sealed oval adjustment holes to keep fraying to a minimum.

Whether you’re taking it underwater, hiking a trail, or just moving through your day, the Ribbed Mako FN looks great and holds strong.

Questions & Answers (FAQs)

Q. Is this strap waterproof or water-resistant?

A. Yes, it’s fully waterproof. Water won’t damage the material or mess with its performance. The nylon will soak up some water, but that doesn’t hurt it. Some people like to let it dry while still wearing it, and others take it off to dry a little faster. Either way, it holds up.

Q. Are Quick-Release Spring Bars included?

A. Yep! Every Ribbed Mako FN strap comes with pre-installed 1.8mm thick quick-release spring bars. This means you don’t need any extra tools to swap straps. Just grab, click, and go.

Q. How do I install this strap?

A. Installation is straightforward. Here’s how we do it:

1. Remove your old strap and any spring bars you might have left on the watch.
2. Take one end of the new spring bar and place it into a lug hole.
3. Pull back the lever on the opposite end, line it up, and release. The spring bar snaps right into place.

And that’s it—secure, snug, and ready to go.

Q. Is the buckle replaceable?

A. Absolutely. The buckle uses a standard spring bar, so you can swap it out if you want a different look or if it ever needs replacing. A simple spring-bar tool will do the job.

Q. Is the material durable?

A. Definitely. The strap’s 1.3mm ribbed nylon weave is tough, tear-resistant, and breathable. The stitching is reinforced and the adjustment holes are heat-sealed to prevent fraying. That said, nylon can fray a little over time—totally normal. A light pass of a flame will clean it up if it happens.

Why Choose the Ribbed Mako FN Strap?

From the strong nylon weave to the quick-release spring bars, every part of the Ribbed Mako FN strap is built for durability, comfort, and style. Whether you’re wearing it on your daily watch, taking it on a weekend adventure, or pairing it with a dive watch, this strap holds its own.
