Part of Obbi Good Label's Squadron Straps collection, the Halifax Shell Cordovan NATO Strap combines heritage military-inspired design with one of the world's most respected leathers. Named after the Handley Page Halifax, a heavy bomber aircraft known for its durability and reliability, the strap reflects the spirit of purposeful design, enduring materials, and craftsmanship built to stand the test of time. Crafted from genuine Horween Shell Cordovan, the Halifax NATO Strap is designed for enthusiasts who appreciate premium materials, timeless aesthetics, and leather goods that develop character through years of wear. Renowned for its dense fibre structure, natural lustre, and exceptional durability, shell cordovan remains one of the most sought-after leathers among watch collectors worldwide. The classic NATO-style construction provides comfort, security, and versatility, pairing naturally with field watches, military watches, dive watches, and everyday mechanical timepieces. Over time, the Horween Shell Cordovan develops a rich patina unique to its owner, creating a strap that becomes increasingly personal with use. Built for daily wear and designed to age beautifully, the Halifax represents the meeting point between heritage watch culture and premium American leather craftsmanship.
