Straum Watches

In an exciting partnership that combines engineering finesse with Scandinavian design excellence, ZULUDIVER are proud to unveil the Octopod MK3 Buckle in collaboration with Straum. This collaborative masterpiece redefines the humble watch buckle once more, merging form and function into an innovative accessory that speaks to horology enthusiasts and design aficionados alike.

Crafted with meticulous precision, the Octopod MK3 Buckle is a testament to Straum’s design philosophy and ZULUDIVER’s technical expertise. Developed by ZULUDIVER with newly added Straum branding, the buckle’s dynamic, fluid aesthetic draws inspiration from the octopus—a creature celebrated for its adaptability and strength. With its angular contours, ergonomic design, and clean lines, the Octopod MK3 perfectly complements a broad spectrum of watch straps, bringing versatility and style to any timepiece.

The Octopod MK3 Buckle is forged from marine-grade stainless steel, chosen for its resilience against corrosion and its luxurious finish. The polished and brushed surfaces interplay beautifully, ensuring durability without compromising elegance. The clasp’s unique architecture is designed for maximum ease of use, allowing for quick and secure adjustments while maintaining a sleek profile on the wrist.

Straum’s Norwegian heritage is evident in the buckle’s minimalist yet bold design language, which aligns seamlessly with ZULUDIVER’s mission to elevate the everyday experience of watch-wearers through high-quality accessories.

“The Octopod MK3 isn’t just a buckle—it’s a statement of intent,” says Andy Hillier, Brand Manager of ZULUDIVER. “Our collaboration with Straum has allowed us to explore the intersection of functional innovation and artistic expression. Together, we’ve created a buckle that not only performs but also enhances the tactile and aesthetic experience of wearing a watch.”

This collaboration also reinforces Straum’s growing influence in the world of watch design, extending their ethos of storytelling and nature-inspired creativity into the realm of accessories.

The Octopod MK3 Buckle x Straum is available now exclusively through Straum’s official channels. Whether you're looking to upgrade your favourite HydraRib strap or enhance the overall appeal of a Straum timepiece, the Octopod MK3 offers an unmatched balance of practicality and style.

Available with a handful of specially selected ZULUDIVER HydraRib straps, the ZULDIVER x Straum OctoPod buckle is as easy to fit as ever using Straum’s innovative Strap Adapter system which has been designed for perfect integration with the Jan Mayen case. Allowing you to expand your Jan Mayen strap pairings whilst retaining the signature midlink, the Strap Adapter has been carefully crafted to support most 20mm rubber, leather and nylon straps. Meticulously fashioned from 316l with finishing that perfectly complements the Jan Mayen Case, the new Strap Adapter features tilted side surfaces and a matching brushing orientation for a seamless overall look.
