THE BR-82 RUBBER STRAP

PATTERN/ PAIRING:

Inspired by the distinctive and lesser known urban vehicle scheme known as “Berlin Camouflage”, or “Berlin Brigade” pattern.

Berlin Brigade was established in 1982 by the British 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guards tank squadron in Berlin, after it was found that the traditional Olive Drab scheme was incompatible with its urban environment.

Unlike more recent CADPAT, ACU and MARPAT digital patterns, Berlin Brigade used a more dispersed and scaled up pattern to merge with its surroundings of buildings, windows and doorways where right angles are prevalent. 

Drawing parallels to the naval “Dazzle Cam” pattern or visual disruption, it utilises 3 main tones of “Brick Red”, “Slate Gray” and “Marine Blue”.

A lesser known and historically significant pattern which adopts a combination of unique subdued shades. Matches Dive and Field pieces, and general blue/ grey/ monotone timepieces.

Constructed of premium FKM Fluoro Rubber, providing a rugged and practical strap base, which unlike lower grade rubbers, does not attract and adhere with dust and debris.

LAYOUT:

A 2 piece layout focused on a range of wearer wrist, and case lug-to-lug sizes, while retaining optimum structural integrity.

Equipped with our signature hexagonal brushed steel buckle and outfitted with quick detach springbars for fast and simple installation.
