The SPD Ti-MNPara Strap is inspired directly from the original French Navy (Marine Nationale) combat diver's versions as first worn in the 1960-70s. Ours feature all titanium hardware and best grade nylon-Spandex strapping. One of the most comfortable and adjustable watch straps made today. Fits watches with 24mm width lugs. Works with any watch that has removable spring bars. #timnpara
During the 1960s, the French Navy combat divers saw a need to securely wear and adjust their dive watches, but did not find anything quite suitable for their needs available at that time. Repurposing elastic nylon strapping from military issue parachute rigging and forming some bits of metal hardware, came up with this (originally handmade) design. PDW built up from this baseline and used the best available nylon with Spandex (far more durable and resilient than generic elastics) strapping, 100% titanium in the rings and clasp for total corrosion resistance on land or under the sea, and 100% non-magnetic as to not interfere with the strap worn compasses such as our EWB-Compass Kit. With the proliferation of rare earth magnets being used in today's bags, wallets, key fobs, and other EDC items, we found that these magnets affected the typical stainless hardware as used in most other types of straps on the market. Not only are rare earth magnets harmful to the internal mechanics of a fine mechanical watch, the magnetized stainless steel hardware affected any compasses used as supporting accessories on a watch strap. Our Ti-MNPara Strap eliminated magnetic interference, offers superior performance, total corrosion resistance and durability in the field.
I had no experience with MN straps before ordering this one for my NFW Shumate, came here looking for a Ti-Ring Strap in 24mm, but no luck. Picked up this instead, being a little nervous about the elastic nature of the product not being able to handle my watch. But was very surprised that it actually handles it better in many ways. It's become my favorite working strap, handling the weight of my watch, and water with a better fit then a traditional G10 or Zulu type strap.
Though I would still be interested in a 24mm Ti-Ring, as another option. Any plans on offering that in the future?

Best Watch Strap I’ve Ever Used
Bought this for my Luminox 3350 Mil-Spec and it fit perfectly. I have always replaced the rubber straps that come on Luminox watches with velcro straps, but i’ll be using these instead from now on. Fits great, easy to install and adjust, and is extremely comfortable. The titanium hardware also matches my watches titanium bezel perfectly.

Watch Strap
Love this strap. It’s really comfortable and makes a heavier or larger watch more secure while wearing. Only thing, is I wish it came in navy blue.

Excellent strap
I mounted this 24mm strap on my Panerai and have not taken it off since. Super comfortable strap and a great value. I wish there were more colors to choose!
