NEW RELEASE


The CAT Strap is our refined evolution of the classic RAF-style nylon strap, redesigned with upgraded materials and thoughtful details for everyday wear. Pairs as well with serious tool watches as it does with refined vintage pieces.

The CAT Strap takes its name from Civil Air Transport, the covert aviation outfit that laid the groundwork for CIA’s Air America. Built for those who understand that history, it’s a subtle nod to a lesser-known chapter of aviation and intelligence.

Constructed from a 70% nylon, 30% cotton blend, the CAT Strap’s proprietary webbing delivers a softer hand feel while maintaining the durability expected of a true tool strap. The result is a premium, understated aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from field use to daily wear.

The proprietary nylon-cotton weave creates a canvas-style appearance and texture, lending the strap a rugged, vintage-inspired aesthetic while maintaining the strength and durability expected of a modern tool strap.

Unlike traditional single-layer designs, the CAT Strap features a two-layer, 1.3mm thick construction with complementary tones, adding depth without unnecessary bulk. Each configuration is purposefully paired: Black with an OD Green underside, Grey with Black, and OD Green with Tan. Contrasting stitching runs the length of the strap, reinforcing high-wear areas while providing a subtle visual signature. As usual, the tip is reinforced with stitching for longevity and a refined look.

Dual fabric keepers (one fixed, one floating) enable a cleaner, more secure fit on the wrist, along with a newly designed custom 316L stainless steel buckle engraved with the W.O.E. spearhead.  

In contrast to our Five Eye strap, the tip of the CAT Strap is designed to lie flat and not fold back, offering a streamlined profile and faster on-off capability.

This is not a reinvention for the sake of novelty. It’s a considered upgrade of a proven design, built for those who prefer their equipment to speak quietly and perform without compromise.

Like everything we produce, the CAT Strap is rooted in the ethos: Use Your Tools.

While the CAT Strap is water-resistant, other designs made of 100% nylon, such as the Five Eye and Glomar Explorer, are better suited to continuous use in and around water.

Customer photo review of CAT Strap - NEW - Premium Cotton Nylon Blend

I love how rhe CAT Strap looks on my Winfield Carbon. It’s now the primary strap for this watch. I like it much better than the NATO style straps it came with. In fact, I wouldn’t have the watch at all if not for reading about the company in one of the articles here. I also have a Five Eye strap for it that. Again, I much prefer to the provided straps. Im adding one of your wrist compasses to the Five Eye for rural/remote wear. Plus it looks cool. A complete WOE system.

I am usually not a fan of one-piece “NATO type” watch straps but the WOE CAT made me change my mind. How thin it is and the keepers made of the same nylon, work beautifully. I bought it to try it on my MoonSwatch 1965 and now I need to find other watches in my collection that would benefit from a CAT strap.

Customer photo review of CAT Strap - NEW - Premium Cotton Nylon Blend

This strap is a perfect match for my Islander Babylon field watch with the charcoal dial, #ISL-336. As a career military man I am very partial to field watches, especially those uncluttered by an unnecessary date window. Almost never does anyone notice what watch or strap someone else is wearing, but just a few days after I started wearing it one of my colleagues at work, a true watch aficionado, commented on and admired both the watch and strap.

Picked this up for my CW Sealander GMT and it's been a great addition. The canvas material feels genuinely high quality, substantial without being stiff, and the gray tone is versatile. Had a local shop fit the spring bars and it sits well on the case with no gaps. The tactical look pairs nicely with the clean white dial, especially with the orange GMT hand standing out against the gray. Comfortable on the wrist and it's become my go to strap for this watch. Really happy with the purchase.

Customer video review of CAT Strap - NEW - Premium Cotton Nylon Blend

I have been dreaming of a strap like this for a long time, super glad W.O.E. were the ones who made it come true! Material is thin enough to slide between the lugs and not feel so heavy on the wrist, but also strong and durable for every day activities! The buckle with the logo is a nice touch and super glad it has two keepers. Only gripe is it sticks out a little past 20mm (making it a lil snug between the lugs)but hopefully will wear/stretch down over time! Definitely reccomend! Might get the black one next!

This strap is great, thank you!! Attached you'll see a photo of it in action. Not as glamorous as special ops, but equally important, underground plumbing in AZ in late July will kill just about anything strapped to, in a pocket of, or otherwise affixed to the body. Great product guys, it passes the Arizona plumbing in late July test. Daily driver is a Luminox Atacama field watch. John.

Love the watch band!! The story behind the watch band; who it honors, makes it perfect for the watch that I wore while working for your "cousins" here in the USIC; doing "G" stuff. Thanks for a great piece of kit! Bravo Zulu!

This band is on a Casio Duro MDV, it’s an inexpensive watch but I really like it as a beater. The band is very nice and adds to the watch overall. 5/5

As always, WOE kit is outstanding! I put the 20mm CAT on my MKII Paradive and the 22mm CAT on my Bulova homage to their 1950s Navigator watches. The only challenge now it how often I use the new straps as opposed to my other WOE straps. Use your tools! JR Seeger old warrior and even older novelist
