The ZULUDIVER OctoPod Watch Strap System
"In 1973 the British Army invented a watch strap. Fifty years later, we perfected it!"
Development of Project OctoPod
We don't settle for good enough, so we constantly strive to improve everything we do. So we took the classic British 1973 military watch strap, kept what we loved and fixed what we didn't.
We kept that same classic nylon webbing that hugs your wrist and that looks stunning without costing the earth.
We also wanted to keep the security of weaving the strap through both spring bars, so if one bar breaks you won't lose your watch at the bottom of the sea or hear the horrific sound of it hitting a concrete pavement.
OctoPod Buckle with Sandblasted Finish
OctoPod HydraRib Green Ares Strap
After numerous prototypes and field tests, we concluded that a deployment clasp could be developed but it would require a complete redesign of the strap itself along with the creation of the bespoke clasp.
The OctoPod concept is just as tough as any traditional Military Nylon strap but gives a much more high-end look to your special watch.
This new strap fundamentally changes the way Military style straps fit and are worn yet remains true to the look you want from a Military style strap. Embrace the evolution and try a radically new OctoPod from ZULUDIVER.
Frequently asked questions about OctoPod
Will it fit my watch?
This watch strap system will work with any standard 20mm or 22mm width watch strap fitting, we are looking at extending the buckle to fit some other sizes.
Do I need any special tools to change the watch straps?
No, the strap weaves between the spring bars so you wouldn't need to carry any special tools to change to a different strap once it's installed.

The system is designed to fit a wide range of wrist sizes, from 150mm (6inces) to a maximum of 220mm (8.75 inches)
